Why do gym bros do this? What do they think will happen if they put some pepper, paprika, salt, and onion powder on their chicken? What do they think will happen if the meat gets brown?

>>21489841 (OP)
>putting brown meat in your mouth

>>21489841 (OP)
why are you asking the cooking board?
go ask /fit/

>>21489850
No that’s gay.

>>21489850
no u

they're pure, on Jah.

>>21489841 (OP)
>bro I HAVE to eat plain chicken to hit my macros bro
They are retarded and can’t count

The better it tastes the worse it is for you. Also the "food = fuel" mindset.

>>21489841 (OP)
Everything must feel like a punishment mentality

>>21489879
Came to post this. Except they also use skin lotions and pluck their eyebrows.
Gymfags are a fascinating case study on the mystical nature of masculinity/femininity.

From what I understand they specifically try to make it as bland as possible so they can't binge it
Also based on the volume that they eat, if it were seasoned with salt they'd be eating quite a high salt diet

>>21489841 (OP)
Better get used to it fattie, this is MAHA now. All your meals will now be state mandated boiled chicken with steamed rice.

>is that... is that chicken that tastes like chicken? and rice that tastes like rice? OOOOOHH LAAAWD I'M FINNA BOUTTA BE CRASHIN OUT NIGGA WHERE DA LAWRY'S AT DIS SOME WYPIPO SHIIIIT
This is your mindset.

>>21489841 (OP)
I lost 90lbs just eating chicken, potatoes and like 5 different veggies. All where well seasoned. Meatheads are generally stupid.

>>21489920
Without seasoning your food i.e adding salt, you can't taste the flavours of your food as well as you could if you did season it

>>21489841 (OP)
Has it ever occur to you that other people are different from you and may have different tastes?

>>21489929
>may have different tastes
you mean have no taste

>>21489841 (OP)

They don't eat for pleasure, they eat for fuel.

>>21489935
No, he’s right and you’re a retard.

>>21489920
>doesn't know how salt works

>>21489920
>simply ask for a little bit of salt to add some flavor to the food
>monkey brain has to revert to racism to defend his bland garbage foood

Has no business on any food. Only adds color and not flavor. Only used by cooklets.

>>21489924
>>21489950
A good chicken doesn't need salt it is extremely flavorful as is. Americans have never tasted real chicken so I can't blame them.

lifting diets work best when you dont eat for enjoyment
>im eating this because i have to
is literally the only vibe that works

>>21489914
this. especially during a cut, you want food to be as bland as possible so that when you're full, you have no desire to keep eating.

>>21489841 (OP)
You wouldnt get it

>>21489929
>omg just let people enjoy things
The world would be better without you opinionless people

>>21489841 (OP)
The types of people who will pump iron to "make gains" don't have a mind for food or art or anything creative. They're the kinds of guys who work at oil change places and guzzle energy drinks. They have loud mufflers and watch pro wrestling. They would never cook for pleasure and if they weren't on a physical health obsession they'd just eat from a drive-through every day.

>>21489920
No. You could add some soy sauce and bell peppers. You could use a little sugar-free BBQ sauce. You could chop it up and cook it with onions and fresh herbs. Pilaf style rice.
You could just sear the fucking meat after salting and peppering it FFS.

Dumbass.

>>21490398
Even this magic farm chicken you speak of isn't going to have skinless, boneless breast meat that's so fabulous it doesn't need salt. I don't want any unsalted meats. That's sadistic.

>>21490319
lol, this guy can't taste paprika.

>>21489841 (OP)
It's a sex thing, you wouldn't understand

>>21490319
Really old paprika loses its flavour

One aspect that hasn't been mentioned is that an unseasoned meal is generally less healthy. Almost all herbs and spices are good for you in some way or another.

Black pepper, thyme, rosemary and garlic all have health-promoting properties.

>>21490404
>>21490409
Makes sense but man I couldn't deal.
When I cut I do OMAD and sometimes 24-48h fasts, eating bland food on purpose would kill my soul.

>>21489921
>veggies
don't say this. you sound like a toddler or idiot woman trying to sound "cute" by using obnoxious baby-talk

>>21489841 (OP)
Because if you have to eat 2lbs of chicken every day it doesn’t matter what it tastes like

>rice
gym bros don't do this

>>21490796
rice is the easiest carb to make, its either that or potatoes. I dont really seem gym bros go for anything else

>>21489841 (OP)
The only gymbros who eat like this are
>frat bros
They do this because they don’t know how to cook in general
>bodybuilders
They do this because they don’t want to bloat so keep salt and seasoning low

>>21490804
This is the only correct post in the thread. The only people who eat like this are college idiots, roider gymcels that can't cook, and bodybuilders for a couple weeks before competition.
Everyone else eats a normal diet, just with a bit more protein and/or overall calories depending on their desired macros

Mornin' chaps, my name is Eddie Hall and I eat a FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST every morning, made by my loving wife.
If you didn't have a FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST cooked for you this morning then you're just not getting WSM-level nutrition.
Cheers lads.

>>21490511
Really old = ground 10 seconds ago

>>21490799
Rice is nutritionally deficient.
Sweet potatoes are the real gym rats carb of choice.

>>21490829
>Hall starts his day with a massive 1500 calorie breakfast of salmon, five eggs cooked in butter, some cottage cheese and a milkshake

>>21491034
That’s a lot of protein.

>>21490682
Despite the name, /fit/ isn't healthy. Roiding up in the gym is not healthy. Overgrowing your muscles is not healthy. Stressing out your heart, joints and tendons for no good reason other than vanity is not healthy. It is one thing to grow muscles naturally while you do manual labor. Doing it in the gym is wasteful of resources at best.

>>21492086
They are gay. They post pictures of oily, veiny muscle men to drool over. These guys can't get laid because they are ugly and short and terrible personalities. At least they're not fat anymore, but the work will not get them sex.
