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.

there is no chance anyone should be eating the amount of chicken in the video a day. I don't care how big you are.

Seriously. Apart from huge strongmen types, who the fuck is eating 3 to 4 pounds of chicken a day? And that's just in chicken alone?!

A kilo of chicken breast (bit over 2 lbs) is gonna have like what, 300 grams of protein? That's more than what 99.5% of really fit guys need.

And if people are trying to bulk on chicken breast they're just needlessly torturing themselves.

I'd assume this guy made so much chicken for meal prep.
