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
Cutting sucks

Tasty food just makes you want to eat more.

Not if you fill up with tasty fibre rich food

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

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.

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.

When you’re a fatty, loathing is at an all time high. I was never fat, but I’ve lost 20 lbs since February eating pretty similar to this

Seriously. And you will very quickly get used to it. Like you wouldn’t believe what happened to me when I started making red lentil dal on the regular, but after a while, my bowel movements went back to regular and no more “ring of fire.”
Katana314@lemmy.world 1 day ago
The dual-use of the English “spice” (ground minerals used to improve flavor) and “spice” (substances that cause food to taste hot and intense) leads to many unfortunate losses of potential flavor.

Gymbro bodysculpt enthusiasts are wild. They won’t have tasty meals because they don’t want food to be associated with pleasure, only fuel.
Maybe it works, maybe its a clever brain hack, but I suspect its from the same pseuds that brought us nofap
LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 1 day ago
Theres a gym bro at my work who eats the same meals everyday. Its something like plain oatmeal, protein shake, boiled chicken, greek yogurt. Every day, no seasoning, all plain and boring. He was complaining to me that he has to almost force himself to eat sometimes and im just thinking like “yeah no shit, you eat wall paste every meal”.
AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
I mean i meal prep my lunches, been over 10 years, updated it once recently. Rice, refried black beans, corn, sweet onion, green pepper. Everyday for lunch. I think it’s tasty and being able to eat the same thing everyday for years is what makes me a great partner lol

I never understood why all the gym people I see in work seems to eat food with the flavour removed, like some paprika or pepper might ruin everything.
ebolapie@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
As some who has eaten like that before, I can speak for myself a little bit. Food is fuel and construction material. I need the nutrition to operate my body. Nothing more. The less I think about what it tastes like the more I can think about it as numbers on a spreadsheet.
That being said if I were OP I’d invest in a slow cooker and yes, some paprika. Maybe some dehydrated garlic.

I live in the netherlands rn and basically at some point in history there was a guy called Calvin who convinced almost everybody to see food this way. To this day traditional dutch food is the blandest, saddest assortment of dishes imaginable. Thank god for immigrants bringing in some flavour.

The cut would be more successful with more broccoli and no rice, IMO. I’ve had decent success with eliminating all carbs and starches. But for god’s sake use some fucking spices

I can’t get over the broccoli portion!! I eat 20 times that!
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Once during the early pandemic, I inadvertently received 12 pounds of frozen broccoli from a grocery delivery (~5,5 kilos). I have never been too full for a piece of broccoli, and didn’t have the space in my freezer for all of it, so I decided to make a huge amount and see how much I could actually eat.
I made 6 pounds (roasted with spices and a little olive oil) and ate it all without issue. I honestly could have eaten more, but I was a little worried about causing myself digestive issues. I didn’t have any, even though doing the math, I was over 4% broccoli afterwards.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 1 day ago
I’m cutting as well, and this plate is scarily similar to where I’ve landed for my meal prep. Pretty much chicken and rice, but I at least do a rub or marinade.

Take a second. You’re cutting yourself, and your spices, but realize that if you haven’t raped kids, you’re literally, OBJECTIVELY better than the president of the United States of America.
I don’t know if you care, but I think everyone having a hard time needs to hear this. We’re all better than the people in charge of the wealthiest and most dangerous country in the entire world.
This is such a fucking dark time to be alive. It fucking sucks. But, if you’re hurting, you’re likely better than the worst people out there. Because they aren’t hurting. As long as you can feel these things, you likely always will be better. Even if you do nothing but survive, you’re better than these awful fucking monsters that are literally destroying this world for future generations.
Don’t let you out anyone else convince you otherwise. This is for everyone reading this. We’re all fucking better. Make yourself a nice fucking meal, you deserve it.
