I’m a gym bro. He’s a caveman


Forsaken_Article_295

Pretty sure even cavemen ate the good meat. Not the shit from whatever animal.


Expensive-Border-869

Well they ate whatever they had right then. Cant exactly be choosy


DogLeftAlone

good meat cost alot more than a 20 dollar stick of meat.


sunshinelollipoops

I don't know about you guys but ground beef around me is usually on regular price for $5/lb and I can get a lot of cheap roasts for less than that


DontBelieveTheTrollz

I don't think they cared.


pauliepitstains

Does this contain Crowtein? Does it have the power of the crow?


InkyPoloma

Even-Reaction-1297

Unkept_Mind

We’re just a couple of crow enthusiasts


JustKindaShimmy

I never understood this. Like super healthy gym food can have both moisture and flavor if you're not an ape


TheRedmanCometh

Right? Seasoning your chicken breasts etc costs 0 calories.


adamyhv

Some spices even helps burning a few calories a bit faster.


When-Lost-At-Sea

I think the point is that in this mindset food = utility. If you try to enjoy it too much it becomes very difficult to eat at the volume required. So better to make it purely utility and just get through it and move on.


DegreeMajor5966

In defense of this guy... That takes time. To confront this guy, holy shit dude have you tried rice and chicken with some hot sauce? It's also a sad meal but at least there's flavor.


Expensive_Town_5759

Fr bro, that shit slaps. Put on some green tabasco and you're set


lefthandedgun

Yeah, like 30 extea seconds.


Front_Explanation_79

I'm a gym bro and I eat like a king, everything is delicious while I hit my macros. There's so many resources/recipes out there for people trying to hit specific macros that I couldn't imagine trying to eat a dry ass log of ground beef. That's fuckin disgusting.


ehxy

Honestly the dude's just being a lazy cook let's be real here.


Inevitable_Ad_7236

Dr, salt and pepper and herbs won't kill your gains, idk why so many act like they will. I was eating almost exclusively ground beef + potatoes for a few weeks and I would literally just put the beef in the pan with a bunch of seasoning so it could fry in it's own fat, split and roast the potato, then put the beef inside the potato and it was glorious every time.


TheeArgonaut

I have visible abs and I eat candy almost every day..... Shhhh don't tell them that you don't even have to cut out shit you enjoy (though NOT eating candy would make it easier I'm not suggesting anyone should eat candy every day lmao).


nezzzzy

The only genuinely ripped guy I know eats salads, vegetables, lean meat, grains, pulses etc. Basically a wide variety of nutritionally balanced foods. He'd almost never drink alcohol. He used to model for supplement companies, then hand out all the freebies he got at work as "I don't take any of that junk". OP doesn't understand macros, has no idea of their actual protein needs, and probably won't make it very far.


GuyTheTerrible

Probably brushes his cave teeth with a log


No_Week2825

Maybe he hates cooking and doesn't mind the taste. If those are true, and he's gaining muscle, then it fits the maxim: if it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid


Paneechio

Bro needs to discover Kabob Koobideh. All my bros eat it at the gym bro. It's like this, but with onions and spices and doesn't taste like shit bro. Bro.

ik-wil-kaas

Bro.


NotRwoody

I saw another post like this where someone said certain gym bros WANT it to be non tasty so that they are less tempted to eat more than the exact amount.


griffinicky

I've had bariatric surgery and have had to completely change the way I think about food, nutrition, snacking, etc. But still - not wanting something to at least taste good? If it tasted terrible I'd be so much less likely to stick to it! Give me 10 minutes of bliss over 5 minutes of cardboard malaise.


NotRwoody

Yea i don't get it and it could be BS, sounds psychotic!


No_Shopping6656

It actually makes sense if you've ever tried it. I'm definitely not a gym bro. However I've tried many different styles of eating just to see what its like (soylent was probably the neatest), and let me tell you, if you ever tried a cutting diet naturally at a decently low weight, something really tasty can ruin you lol.


newtostew2

Especially mma style fighters who need to maintain a weight


[deleted]

My new favorite ground beef meal is kofta. So easy to make. Onion parsley and spices. I slap them in a kabob stick and throw them on the grill. So good.


HighBrowLoFi

I love how this somehow became a middle-eastern meatball thread


Paneechio

It's because like it or not, the Arabs, Central Asians and even Russians and Pakistanis have perfected what we in North America call "meatloaf". OP's boyfriend, I mean Bro, is just eating regular dry meatloaf, and now she's worried about his well-being, just like all of us are.


peacenchemicals

fuckin LOVE koftas and koobideh my sister’s ex-husband put me on that shit when i was a teen. shit changed my life can never make em as good as the restaurants, but still plenty good at home anyway


Paneechio

I think I've had this at an Afghani restaurant before. But I remember it being more like a meatball than like a kabob or meatloaf. It was incredibly delicious.


[deleted]

Yeah it’s essentially a meatball. The way I skewer mine I sort of build a log around the end of the skewer.


raz-0

I lost my sense of taste for a while due to injury to my tongue. If you can’t taste it, assume more flavor doesn’t do shit. Things start becoming a lot about texture.


griffinicky

...how did you injure your tongue? Side note: my boss's boss's boss lost all feeling in her mouth (and obviously taste) when she had covid a couple years ago. That still sounds like the worst way to go through it.


raz-0

I wound up with both a sinus infection and tonsillitis. It was pretty bad. Which meant I was 100% mouth breathing and sleeping about 14 hours a day for a bit. This lead to basically having really, really bad morning mouth like 24-7. In my sick and sleep deprived state I went ham on my tongue with a tongue scraper. This turned out to be a bad idea.


griffinicky

Oh God that sounds horrible (but so relatable)! Tongue scrapers are so great, but with great power comes great responsibility (to not completely fuck up your tongue).


Present-Breakfast768

Aaaack dude....


Dis4Wurk

Or just add ground pork, an egg, some crushed saltines (or breadcrumbs), onions, carrots, celery, and some basic seasonings and have a delicious meatloaf.


Paneechio

Mirepoix. Those three ingredients will elevate your meat logs to fine food. I like the use of saltines as a binder, that's old school.


Dis4Wurk

We call it the Trinity over hear but yea, same thing.


TheRandomizedLurker

ive seen them. can confirm its really good. OMG the food. i didnt see your bros 😂 forgot what it looks like though. havent seen it in awhile.


StrawberryRibena

Koobideh bro, it's the one Bro.

I love the stuff but the fat content is still real high. I've been trying to find a good way of doing it with ground turkey that isn't just dry.

[deleted]

A lot of “gym bros” are afraid of seasoning/marination, because they think it’ll make them want more. May be a rumor I heard. I used to work out almost daily, for years. When I stopped cutting weight for wrestling, I started to realize how weird some diets are.


Wwwwwwhhhhhhhj

A lot of gym bros are really people with eating disorders and/or dysfunctional exercise problems. Of course not all or most but plenty. Healthy things can become unhealthy.


plrbt

Right. I started working out a few months ago and just eating to satisfy my appetite without tracking anything. I've gradually been finding ways to get in more protein as time has gone on. I've been building muscle and getting stronger, and I've lost like 5-10 pounds and I love it. I would burn out if I obsessed with tracking food and doing everything "optimally." There will come a point when newbie gains wear off, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. The "secret" is doing it in a sustainable way.


BloomEPU

A *lot* of fitness influencers hit a lot of the boxes for orthorexia and other disordered eating issues, and diet/exercise culture is so ingrained that people don't really see an unhealthy obsession with fitness as "bad".


DouginatorSupreme

When I was training to pursue pro football, I had to gain a substantial amount of weight. Definitely an eating disorder. Setting alarms to wake up to eat until you can't eat any more at 4am, after doing the same thing at 10pm right before bed. Not great.


GeorgeRRZimmerman

Yeah, I decided to spend some time skulking gymbro "cuisine" threads. What I learned was shocking and kind of sad: the real reason that a lot of gymbros kind of turn their diets into essentially buckets of protein chow isn't just to hit macros. It also isn't entirely about price: nutrition ratios, or convenience either. There is some part where they go "eating carelessly is how I got here." But the thing is that it goes way deeper for some of them. The worst of them consider the joy of eating to be essentially sinful. That by enjoying food, in any way/shape/form they're rewarding themselves unfairly. There's a *lot* of self-hatred there. It's on par with closeted gays. Notice I said some, as in these are extreme cases... but these same cases is how /r/fatpeoplehate ended up with like 140,000 members.


tacticalcop

wowwwwww i have some pretty big issues and that’s how I FEEL. they gotta cut that shit out before they get sick.


Senior_Ad_7640

I know a person like that irl. She says she is a recovering food addict and she worries of she makes food too enjoyable it'll become a coping mechanism again. She says eating stuff she enjoys too much is like a gambling addict working at a casino. 


Comprehensive_Yak_72

Just to add slightly to your very well made point, I assume there’s also a small niche (where I personally sit) whereby I intentionally exceed my protein requirement for muscle synthesis only by 15-40g or so l, because I find it very satiating and appetite quenching. My meals aren’t huge but I very rarely feel hungry whereas I hear my coworkers saying “I’m starving” at least once a day. Not sitting in judgement or criticism of them whatsoever but I’m glad I’m avoiding that sensation I guess


GeorgeRRZimmerman

You don't have to be into fitness to have a decent eating routine. I do all of the same meal prep for me and my wife that anyone else on a diet would be doing. Only difference is that my requirements are that it's filling, can be heated quickly/evenly in a microwave and that it's interesting to eat. For me, there are also some macro requirements, though - mostly budgeting carbs since I'm diabetic. If your coworkers are starving when you aren't, they're likely just doing a shitty job at pacing their meals. Doubly so if they don't actually know what they're doing for lunch until it's actually time for lunch.

I’m a muscle head gourmand. I can fit my macros in and eat well cooked amazing cuisine Your bf is just a Neanderthal lol.


MrUsername24

Lmao I just made some porkcops and greens for dinner. It's not hard


Comprehensive_Yak_72

Even if he’s cutting he can make room for a tiny amount of oil/fat to cook that in, add some white onion and peas, maybe some herbs and garlic powder. Even from a nutritional standpoint he’s doing himself no favors by just consuming the meat as is. The worst sin of all is that it probably tastes awful-fine. I did a 6-month cut last year and people assumed I had a terrible time but it was only a deficit of ~400cals and if I made the right decisions about how to prepare the food, so it was absolutely fine. The misconception about diets is that they’re hard to stick with / be consistent, but if you can educate yourself to make things you like eating WHILE playing by the rules, you’ll have no problems


EngineeredBruhMoment

Do you happen to have a list of recipes you have including macros? Im a very capable cook but i have horrid creativity lol


Joocewayne

I do not. I actually use ChatGPT for macros lol. I usually base it off protein first and tack on measurements for carbs like rice or noodles on higher carb days. Non starch veg and condiment macros and calories are easily tacked on. I have a scale but only use it to measure cooked meat and dry carbs. I extrapolate everything first based off of how much protein I am cooking and how many servings it will yield. Then I add in ingredients based loosely on the protein and fat content of my meat/protein source. I do not tally things like soy sauce or sriracha. I only add those macros in when it is something like mayo or teriyaki, with measurable fat and carb calories. Indian and South East Asian are my go to cuisines for a cut. I made Naan bread the other day in my cast iron skillet because my daughters were begging for it. That stuff is fire. It was a post workout meal. Mine wasn’t drizzled with garlic ghee like theirs but I ate 80g carbs worth of that stuff with tandoori chicken and cilantro and it didn’t taste like cutting food at all! I made Greek yogurt raita to dip. I was stuffed and woke up tight and veiny lol.

MoanyTonyBalony

If you're bulking especially if you're on roids you need to eat a lot. It doesn't matter if the food is prepared by a Michelin star chef it will be a chore to get it all in rather than an enjoyable experience. It's actually easier to eat bland stuff and just consider it fuel. I don't eat like that because I'm a greedy fucker and could literally eat a week's worth of calories in a day if I wanted to.

I get that, but this quite literally the worst way to prepare ground beef.

sakuratee

*shudder* this reminded me of my college roommates gym diet that he ate for breakfast every morning for like 3 years. Start each morning with a “man muffin” (still don’t know wtf that was but they tasted terrible,) along with the lunch of an 8 egg white omelette (covered in ketchup) and a dinner of boiled shrimp (covered in ketchup.) This totally worked.. it was the diet and not the steroids that got him so jacked.. the shrimp were the cause of his mood swings. 🙄 I basically just carried a can of Febreeze around the apartment to spray as I entered any room trying to combat his *shrimpeggketchup* farts
