    Are you taking this picture from your bunker?

    This is the most depressing lighting I’ve ever seen.

    Seriously, it looks like your taking this picture from The Backrooms.

    I never understood why all the gym people I see in work seem to eat food with the flavour removed, like some paprika or pepper might ruin everything.

    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

    Edit: also halve the rice and triple the broccoli

    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

      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”.

      Meh. Everything in moderation. Including self-imposed suffering. Sleep late. Eat tasty food. Have days where you just exist. Fuel is for cars.

    I will come to your residence and cook for you. I can make something tasty and healthy. Please don’t do this to yourself, I’m having a hard time not driving off a cliff due to witnessing this. I would be upset, but I’m too sad and disturbed. At least, the very least, black pepper. I’m begging you.

    When I was in Chicago went to my Mexican friend’s house for home cooked Mexican! Yeah. Looked like that.

    Wife: “Ed’s guts can’t take spicy.”

    Shoot me.

      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.

      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

          I was 6 ft and 200 lbs. Not obese by any stretch. Trying to lose the dad bod and get back to where I was before I retired from field work.

          My goal is to actually be leaner than that, now that I actually have time to pay attention to fitness and diet.

            I’ll tell you that for most people it’s less about food intake and more about physical exertion.

            I’m not saying eat cake for every meal but as long as you’re burning more calories than you’re taking in that’s all that matters unless you have underlying health conditions. Keep being you but just exert yourself more. Work until failure.

            I say this with love as a person who has struggled with dysmorphia and has taken several steps to overcome it.

    Dude, that plate is upside down! The vegetables! So much carbs!

    Cutting what? Money? Flavor? Health? Or happiness?

        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.

      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 or 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.
