You know there’s no calories in normal seasoning?
Tasty food gives dopamine. Dopamine gives you motivation to do stuff.
You’re just unnecessarily doing it on hard mode without at least some pepper

Not if you fill up with tasty fibre rich food

it genuinely pisses me the fuck off that producers aren’t just putting fibre into everything they can, just use the leftover chaff from making white flour!
fibre is the closest thing i know to a magic cure-all supplement, eat more fibre and basically all the little discomforts related to digestion just fucking disappear and you feel generally better and healthier.
but like it’s really annoying to actually get extra fibre without fairly significant changes to your diet or spending extra on fibre-enriched pasta that’s engineered to be basically identical to normal pasta, and yet there are plenty of products that seem like adding fibre would make no change at all to the texture, like just put some grain chaff powder in muffins!!!

Everyone has different nutritional needs. If you’re doing chicken and protein, it’s probably because it’s much easier to measure out an exact amount of macronutrients to fit your needs and fill up the rest on broccoli to make it as satiating as needed.

What does that have to do with seasoning?

I guess it wasn’t clear what I was responding to. I edited my comment with the quote.

It’s like 5 calories of broccoli with all those nutrients, but like 350 of basically empty carbs.

Carbs are required for muscle building.

I go with beans. You get carbs and nutrients.

Yeah, when I’m cutting I’ll do a fuck load of seitan, cut out the rice and have 300g of broccoli, with a flavoured with a ton of spices. Genuinely tasty and something I enjoy, cutting doesn’t need to be punishment.
