plain food is easier to eat all the fricking time. seasoned food is more exciting to the senses but you get sick of it more easily.

cooking doesn't mean chicken breast and rice + spices homosexual
it means slow cooking, steaming, baking, frying, boiling, sautéing, grilling. It means rubs, marinades, smoking, shredding, stuffing, pickling, brining, glazing, etc.
A million ways to cook a million different foods and your ass says "Ok so plain white rice and chicken". Embarrassing.
none of that shit is cooking you frickin homosexual, shut the frick up fat ass. frick you.
>t. never actually cooked his own food ever
U wot, are you israeli?

It's not a bodybuilder issue, some people never had a parent teach them how to cook real food.
>basedsauce
please elaborate on this
Autocorrect for soi sauce. My go to chicken fillet preparation recipe is to put them all in a pan on medium high heat, add curry, paprika powder, a bit of chilly powder, takoyaki sauce, soi sauce, and some other asian blend liquids from kikkoman. Top it with a bit of water, just enough that half the height of a chicken breast is in water and cover it. Let that stuff boil and steam while turning it around and using a spatula to divide it into parts after a while. In 20 minutes time the water should evaporate and chicken should have a thickish layer if sauces still on it. Keep frying it a bit until you're satisfied.
Pan cooked chicken is my go to variant and I much prefer it to other methods.
This guy gets it. When you're used to bland, it's easier to eat and easier on your digestion.
You're completely right and ADHDBlack folk can frick off. I'm perfectly fine eating the exact same meal made in the exact same way with the exact same minimal spices every day. In fact, I find it comforting. I will not be shamed for being who I am.
>eating the exact same meal made in the exact same way with the exact same minimal spices every day
Enjoy your deficencies. Heavily doubt your singular meal contains adequate amounts of all micros.
Literally who said they are eating exclusively one meal at every occasion you colossal homosexual?
Its called a multivitamin we have been using them in the first world for like a while now
>vitamins are only micros
Embarassing
This might sound weird but I routinely go 4 days a week drinking only cabbage juice. The other three I eat normally
>why?
cabbage is high in micronutrients, vitamins, and is very cheap
nobody is on my level of diet autism
You're absolutely right, there is no shame in not knowing how to cook.
Is it really easier to eat when every mouthful you take makes you want to blow your brains out?
Jesus man just learn how to fricking cook. You can cope about height, wealth, not having a hot scandinavian wife but you can fix not knowing how to cook with a 20 min youtube video
/misc/ tier logic. They unironically believe that thirdies use spices to compensate for food quality, therefore being proud of blandness makes you more white.
They really fell hard for black internet memes
Do chuds don't learn about the east India company?
>They unironically believe that thirdies use spices to compensate for food quality
That's actually true to some extent though. Seedy Indian street vendors are famous for using a frick ton of spices to mask the flavour of their rotting meat.
You're not a seedy Indian street vendor
Season your meat
browns need lots of spices because their tastebuds are less developed. like how ants taste less than a dog.
Americans once again proving they can't cook
most culinary capable IST user
Seasoning and spices is why southeast asians are skinny
I'm pretty sure it's because they're poor and can't afford anything.
Prep and cleanup of any sort is more torturous than the blandest of foods
Based fellow lazyfrick
I mean, think about the time wasted washing dishes. All that effort, for what? I'm not a cook and I'm not delusional enough to think I can become one.
I don't have any of those things. I don't even have plates. I use my saucepan as a bowl.
Buddy...it's just being frugal, it has nothing to do with taste. You can eat like this and go out to eat king crab and fried oysters with your gf whenever you want.
>.it's just being frugal
It's a mental illness.
>Put a bunch of shit on a sheetpan with aluminum foil, parchment paper, or a silicon mat

Spooning some dry seasoning out of your premade mix jar onto your chicken before putting it into the pan doesn’t require extra cleanup, the spoon is not dirty you can just rinse it off
>premade mix jar
Does anybody have a chefjak I can use on this guy?
Do you like this one?

Thats pretty good. Saved.
good god why does literally every hobby have to meme-ify and merchandise itself into absurdity? i know the pic is making fun of it but those decals were clearly pulled from real products that people buy unironically
I can actually cook well. And I know what good food tastes like. But I can also eat anything. When I have nobody to impress around me, I put together components of food that fit my macros. Then I eat everything straight from the container and note in my head how much of each I ate.
you could literally put some onions sauce on it and the meal will improve by magnitudes
>reeee onions
I don't care about your schizo nutrition
A&W generally sold inferior food. There's a reason why few still exist. I doubt the reason they couldn't move merchandise really was "lolz ppl don't know math"
>reeee onions
>I don't care about your schizo nutrition
wait... so ONIONS are now bad for you? they're literally just water with nutrients in them wtf
you could just add some paprika and pepper while the chicken cooks you know
Nothing is going to make chicken breast appealing to eat, I am getting sick of you homosexuals and your chef larping
>le paprika
>le pepper
Like holy frick dude you could get paid to shill for something for real but you choose to shill dollar store pepper powders for nothing except to safeguard the dignity of the bandwagon. Ever drunk plain tea or black coffee? Wrong, you must fill it with syrup, Stevia, and elaborate latte art after buying a milk frothing machine. Ever eaten a fruit before? Like an apple? No, wrong. You have to eat it with cinnamon powder after cubing it. These additions totally change the nutrition facts of the food you are eating and will make you more swole
Putting effort in to cooking is hard. I just salt and black/white pepper everything for absorption gains and I eat my liver with mustard.
Im glad normies are falling for the chicken and rice meme.
If you really wanna get big you have to dirty bulk

Get some class you peasant.
I just eat chicken thighs or pork and it usually tastes great. I can't stand chicken breast, it's mostly the texture but lack of fat doesn't help
I avoid chicken thighs for the same reason I avoid your mom.
I don't want to have to pull 3 bones out before I enjoy it.
Dude, there was no reason to go that far
ouch
>boneless doesn't exist
I just got a 40lb box of boneless halal thighs from costco... great stuff. Not dry like chicken breasts tend to get.
>wypipo don season they food
When I was in my early twenties I could eat pic related 7 days a week. Now I put the extra effort to make better tasting, and more types of meals. It takes more time and planning, but not much. There’s nothing wrong with either approach. Unless you’re cooking for others, it’s literally just whatever is nutritious and tolerable. The folks who can tolerate bland, monotonous meals have it the best because they can spend less time and money worrying about it
>The folks who can tolerate bland, monotonous meals
you mean permavirgins in a constant cycle of /improovement/ because they get sick of their bland ass diet and binge?
My mom cooks for me.
The internet bait economy is truly something
The guy making that meal and taking picture of it to upload on the internet knew what he was doing.
The gut that retweeted it knew what the guy was doing and what he him self was doing.
This OP posting the retweet here knows what the guy cooking it was doing, and the guy retweeting it.
The people in this thread replying to the OP also know what the guy taking the picture was doing, the guy retweeting it and the OP posting it.
We all know this picture was bait but those likes, retweets, replies and (YOU)'s are just to damn sweet.
And don't act for second that it isn't true.
this isn't about king crab and fried oysters
this is about being an adult with basic life skills
I just said that because I'm feeling a seafood sort of vibe right now. You know that salmon lox has pretty much the same macros as a chicken breast, with none of the prep time?
But anyway, you could just as easily be in a tteokbokki mood, or a pizza mood. Idk why I'm arguing with an internet stranger about something as stupid as how I get my macros.
>salmon
>literally one of the easiest to prepare foods
>EVOO, salt, pan
and instead you buy processed shite filled with nitrates. Fricking americans
have you ever bought lox lol that 3oz package is like $10 now
Would you guys ever in your lives eat picrel, be honest
No and I don't care because I have money saved up from the "bland" lifestyle
What in the world
That looks like a dollar store retort pouch of chorizo with the questionable addition of kidney beans sprinkled onto it. Not bad. I'd eat it straight out of my frying pan with my wooden mixing spoon
ive eaten both lox and beef jerky. lox is obviously good its just ridiculously pricey. bulking on lox instead of chx breast is insane
The question isn't about affording it, but rather is it worth spending the money on it and the answer is no
You know that salmon is also really expensive, right?
You can improve it by adding apple sauce
I don't care. Salt is overrated and gets in the way of the protein taste.
They want to punish themselves for not being perfect.
you just eviscerated the entirety of IST
Idk I eat beef and eggs every day and it’s pretty fricking good. Chicken and rice is peasant tier nutritional deficiency food.
i dread to be around your farts
I don’t really fart at all. My gut has never been healthier since I ate mostly animal based.

This is an easy mistake if you overdo it on fat. You want to keep it 1:1 with your protein intake.
>he can't eat unseasoned food
Try not eating shit for more than a month and clean your palate
Food is meant to provide nourishment. The chase for flavour and enjoyment of food leads to gluttony and obesity. If you are able to eat strictly for nourishment and not feel like you are depriving yourself, then you are not missing out on anything.
This is it. Literally everything fell into place for me when I realised that bland (not untasty, or bad tasting, but bland) whole food is the way. You don't overeat. You don't feel hungry and craving for it. You just fuel the machine and keep going and it's beautiful.
Half an hour i spent not cooking tastes 10 times better than any meal i could make
>Year of our Lord 2024

I do meal prep. I boil pig hearts in water, then proceed to eat that for 3 days with rice as a main part of my diet. It takes me 10 mins total for 3 days of food. It does taste like shit tho.
abhorrent, visual depression
when was the last time you had guests over?
Looks cozy to me, anon.
It was when i had ISP set up my internet when i first moved here.
Looks cozy to me.
wtf is that
boiled chopped up pig hearts
I'm cutting and made a bunch of chilli 2 days ago. Still eating it. Lmaoing@cooklets
why do i get the feeling this is the first real food you've cooked in a long time and you were so proud of it you felt the need to take a picture?
I dunno, sounds like a you issue. I take pictures of my food regularly, mostly when family asks what I cooked on that day.
Based sushi enjoyer. You would never catch me pretending to know how to make sushi tho.
That sounds like a perfectly reasonable extra step to make if it should so suit you.
I once met a guy in college who used a blender to liquidate his chicken breast into protein powder and a bunch of vegetables, and then drunk all of his calories in the form of a protein shake. He'd down it all then look at me and go "it tastes like nothing". Now that guy was a legend. Was doing a psycho OMAD and didn't even know what OMAD was.
Sushi rolls are literally just jap burritos, you get your bamboo mat, lay out a square of seaweed like you would a tortilla, then add a layer of rice all over, then put your ingredients cut into long blocks or w/e into the bottom and use the mat to roll around it in a spiral sorta of shape, super goddamn easy. Onions sauce and wasabi come in bottles. Only hard thing about sushi is sourcing sushi grade fish.
I'm only saying that because of familiarity with the close cousin of the jap burrito: the kor burrito, which is the ultimate portable bulking season food of all time. If you have someone who can make it for you then you are literally in a manna from heaven situation
Sushi imo is like, classy restaurant stuff that people dedicate their lives to austerely
I have never made a burrito or handled a fresh tortilla though, the only time I have had burritos were at chipotle.
lmao
No sometimes I do that with chik-fil-a grilled nuggets
>You would never catch me pretending to know how to make sushi tho.
Shit is easy, though rolling is a bit time consuming when making a larger batch (I make 12-15 rolls typically), really helps to have another person helping with that. I mean, I'm sure some weeb sushi autist will say I do it wrong because I didn't spend 10 years watching Jiro Ono cook rice, but whatever, it tastes good.
>Only hard thing about sushi is sourcing sushi grade fish.
Yeah that is a pain in the ass, I have dropped all pretense and will usually make it with pan fried salmon from the grocery store.
>inb4 it has to be raw !!!!!1111
I don't give a shit, tastes good, I'm not eating raw grocery store fish.
Here's my homemade pesto with chicken btw, that's a staple for me. More suited for bulks because olive oil, but I will eat it on cuts too.
>pasta
>100 grams of dry, whole grain pasta is 348 kcal and 14 grams of protein
>he doesn't enjoy one of the most protein rich carbs out there
ngmi
>he doesn't enjoy unlimited carbs because only fat makes you fat
ngmi
Smoked salmon tastes pretty good in a roll
>I didn't spend 10 years watching Jiro Ono cook rice, but whatever, it tastes good.
But to be fair. If we didn't have the pretentiousness of someone devoting their entire career to one food item, then we wouldn't have the experience of sushi restaurants. Everything that tries to imitate it, to me, idk, you might as well eat the tiktok sushi bake straight out of a pyrex if you just love the base ingredients so much. I just wouldn't call it sushi. But I also have no problem with people calling it sushi. This is literally just imo.
These homosexuals itt want variety in their diets, I'm proposing alternatives that actually exist that you can throw in there. I know salmon costs more than chicken, but so does lean ground beef, and I've been eating lean ground beef for the past two weeks
I can't cook well
My favorite pasta is mac and cheese
>mac and cheese
Good for an occasional treat.
But know that your body doesn't like to convert carbs or protein to fat. If you eat minimal fat you can't get fat. That's why Americans are whales. They eat fat and think it's good for them because they're incredibly stupid.
Whatever do you mean? I know plenty of people whose diet is probably 50% carbs from just soda and they are fat as shit.
>plenty of people whose diet is probably 50% carbs
Yes. The carbs become fuel. The fat goes straight to fat storage. They did studies on this. 98% of the fat in your body comes right from dietary fat. So much they can even tell what you ate.
The only way to eat a lot of fat is to calorie restrict, which is super homosexual. But if you minimize fat it is physically impossible to get fat. Glucose can't be converted to fat. Your body can only make 10 grams of fat from fructose a day. Literally nothing.
Interesting
It's even better when you pair it together with intermittent fasting and shift between ketosis and HCLF.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_synthesis
Don't link wikipedia in my presence again you indolent slug. All carbohydrates are made from sugar bonds and glucose is not among the few which can be converted to fat in minute quantities.
There's a whole body of research but here is a good one
https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/964D7EFE5AF06D51D7CFC5979EF95FCE/S000711450100174Xa.pdf/energy-expenditure-by-de-novo-lipogenesis.pdf
the efficiency of metabolizable energy available for fat retention was found to be 75:7 %"
>"Carbohydrate overfeeding produced progressive increases in carbohydrate oxidation and total energy expenditure resulting in 75-85% of excess energy being stored. Alternatively, fat overfeeding had minimal effects on fat oxidation and total energy expenditure, leading to storage of 90-95% of excess energy. Excess dietary fat leads to greater fat accumulation than does excess dietary carbohydrate"
>Don't link wikipedia in my presence again
Why?
>All carbohydrates are made from sugar bonds and glucose is not among the few which can be converted to fat in minute quantities.
Glucose is a substrate in lipogenesis. It also increases lipogenesis by stimulating the release of insulin and inhibiting the release of glucagon from the pancreas.
>Excess dietary fat leads to greater fat accumulation than does excess dietary carbohydrate
No shit. Are you just now discovering that fat has 9 kcal/g while carbs are 4?
>They did studies on this
Post them.
>Glucose can't be converted to fat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_synthesis
It's amazing that people don't know carbs, fat and protein can all be converted to glucose or fat through multiple processes
Idk bro about nutrition I just read the numbers on the label and count. But I avoid virtually every food in existence that has italian words on it because they are all disgustingly mid
>it's not worth the money to eat salmon
What the cuck?
It's good but not that special
The purpose of suggesting it in the first place was for people who were specifically reeing about food not being special enough. Obviously if you are trying to save time and money you aren't going to care much about something like food or clothes
Buddy I lived in china for almost a decade and I drank fresh unflavored basedmilk for breakfast damn near every day. Now that I am in the US I've switched over to picrel.
With that said, I only care about the macros, you could find the tastiest hot sauce and it's just another thing that might stain something. Doesn't need to be in my house, I just don't care. Also, that's not what the IST nerds mean by "seasoning", they mean putting spices onto the chicken breast before cooking it
>why, yes!
>I don't enjoy life in any way whatsoever
>The purpose of suggesting it in the first place was for people who were specifically reeing about food not being special enough
Oh I didn't read any of your previous posts, I just wanted to bring forth that salmon is not worth the money at the current time
If true then you're just a bundle of sweet kindness like a goldendoodle
I enjoy things I'm enthusiastic about. Which entails 2 things, working towards my goals, and being close to my gf
It’s ridiculously hard to eat at my current fat macros limit. I’m starting to think I should take out the yolk in my eggs just to make it.
Nice. Making me hungry during the last moments of my weekly fast.
Because you're mean spirited and want to talk shit to strangers online.
>mimic bodybuilders
>what are they eating?
>rice, chicken, and broccoli (every meal)

It’s also healthy to eat lean meat green veggies and some easily digestible carbs.
Since when is that not normal food btw lmao?

same here. im eating it just now
Why do they always eat plain rice lmao if you want carbs just eat a sandwich, 100 times better than rice
some people just don't derive much pleasure from food, they just use it as a fuel
on bulk getting so much required calories becomes chore, so you won't enjoy it anyway
and getting used to bland foods reduces cravings which becomes useful during cut

thx gonna try this because for once in my life i actually have all these ingredients on hand except for the brown sugar. i hate when a recipe calls itself simple but then you need to guy $35 worth of rare spices that you will never use again

it's part of the grind and suffering. it's to signal that food doesnt interest you
It's not my problem that americans are too stupid to cook healthy meals.
I eat food for nutrition
I'm not such a fricking boring person I need to drench my food in spices and have diearhea each night to feel something
Unless you're aiming to be a pro athlete or something this seems pointless. Just cook traditional homecooked dishes with fresh ingredients and avoid junk food and you should be fine. This is what people did for most of history and if you look at old photos/videos there were basically no fat people.
>This is what people did for most of history
Historically food was real, 100% organic, had far more nutrition and no pesticides.
Nowadays it's a fricking minefield and we all know it.
professional bodybuilders do it because they often stop caring about taste and they want to avoid bloating as much as possible
pretty pointles for amateur lifters to do it, though
It simply isn't torture to me. There is barely any flavor I don't like, I can appreciate all flavors unadulterated. I don't mind the taste of plain white rice, even if it was cooked without salt. I enjoy the taste of cooked chicken, it tastes exactly like it should and one would expect. I can make it taste differently with salt and spices / herbs but I don't have a scale where I say this one version is so much better than the other, it's just different. To me all the ways to enhance or modify flavors are just ways to make things taste different, so I do use them for variety but I don't think they make foods better.
Bodybuilders rat normally. Normal bodybuilders season their food(unless if they're american).
These people simply don't know how to cook so they just boil their chicken
>Bodybuilders rat normally.
>ratcels don't season they cheese

In my life it's obvious that I am capable of a range of things. Two of those things are
Eating tasty food and enjoying it
