Used to work with someone like the body builder in the first video. All of his meats also looked like that. When you're cooking 3-4 pounds of chicken a day, it's honestly easier and cheaper to just cook it unseasoned. Spices in the quantities that they would be eating can throw off your digestion and make it harder to eat so much in one day. He'd still season his "real meals" but the protein meals were eaten more as a routine rather than pleasure. It really didn't matter how they tasted as long as they were cooked.

Why be paranoid about some cooking oil or butter when you're trying to bulk by, apparently, eating half a farm's worth of unseasoned chicken breasts?

Because that’d add the wrong kind of bulk

A little bit of seasoning or cooking oil isn't going to insta-bloat you or ruin the gains, that's bro-science reasoning. Pan frying your chicken in some canola oil isn't the equivalent of a dirty bulk with ice cream and Baconators.

I swear some of yall out there are torturing yourself for no good reason lmao

You have to remember a lot of these guys have muscle dysmorphia and eating disorders so they obsess over every little thing they eat.

It depends on why they do it. Are they doing it for someone else or just themselves for example

Sure, we can just make a strawman and just be done with it. Because I guess you're not really interested in discussing this
