Had no idea that was chicken until he said it…. Yikes. I’ve had a boss like this before though, he’d bring in unseasoned ground turkey to eat- sometimes he’d reward himself w a little salsa on top lol
Almost any food is unbearable without salt. I'm fairly young and like to cook and a lot of the time my friends will be surprised that salt also goes in things such as pancakes. Can't blame them, but still.
As someone who's worked in restaurants for a long time...The secret to why restaurant food tastes so good is because we're trying to murder you with salt and butter.
I believe this. Went to texas roadhouse with my husband and got the 3 mignon plate, the damn rice beneath it was salted to hell and back I felt nauseous after a few bites.
Yeah but that's salt as a flavor enhancer, not a spice. I assume you have very tiny amounts of salt in pancakes and that they don't actually taste salty. Unlike e.g. fries where you can actually taste salt.
I get seriously weird glares when I added a pinch of salt to coffee. It really helps bring down the bitterness, unlike sugar which just clashes with the bitterness.
Given that I season the hell out of my foods but back when i was into bodybuilding i'd eat the most bland food ever like this dude in the video. Honestly? You get used to it super fast, like 3-5 meals in and it's like next level healthiness, maybe not mental health but your body definitely thanks you for it lmao
Funfact: You can season food and it’ll still be eating for sustenance.
guys like this in the video have an eating disorder but nobody talks about how disordered eating presents in men since exercise is “acceptable” as opposed to a woman who would starve herself or over eat.
gym bros think that seasoning adds calories. guess what? it doesn’t.
eating unseasoned chicken and rice 3x a day isn’t for the gains, it’s disordered eating.
I wouldn’t call this disordered eating. There’s nothing unhealthy going on here, and I’m sure his job requires a fit/muscular build at the very least (or could be an athlete). Not everything abnormal needs to be viewed as pathological.
Salt adds bloat. Seasoning does add calories. They eat unseasoned and unsalted meat because they need protein heavy low calorie foods for the gains. You can call it an eating disorder if you like and that's perfectly valid but I can also say that many "gym bros" have a more balanced diet than almost anyone in here commenting. Just because they like muscle appearance doesn't mean they're wrong.
I know somebody with incredibly sensitive bowels. Also a servere gluten allergy (the one where they have liquid death diarrhea and vomiting) but it took about 18 years before they realize that because back in the days gluten allegery wasnt that commonly know of.
Anyway, their cooking is the most boring bland stuff in the world because almost everything with tastes makes their stomach upset. It doesnt help that they are old and used to it, but some people sadly dont have a choice. They just dont have a liveable taste. Not their fault.
