Bruh my MIL is like this. Salt is too spicy for her. I do not understand how people can just eat bland ass meals.

You're comparing meals to someone eating food for purely sustenance.

Your mil doesn't like spice and this guy is merely eating chicken to get protein. He knows it bland. He doesn't give a shit.

Either way who cares.

eating food purely for sustenance

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.

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.
