OMG MEAL PREP

>>12552046
That looks so fucking bad. I can feel the dry ass chicken ripping my esophagus out. Paired with some boring boiled broccoli and brain cancer juice. The nuts are ok. Put some fucking sauce on the chicken, cheese on the broccoli, and change that to a glass of milk.

>>12552060
But that would make it unhealthy, what's the point of eating broccoli if you're going to put cheese on it

I'm poor and starving and I'd kill for that famalam

>>12552046
Why even eat meat of you're only going to eat 100 grams of it at a time? Waste of time and money

>>12552046
Was she a great big fat person?

>>12552069
>cheese and milk is unhealthy

starch + protein n/m than 3/week

>>12552046
I love broccoli with melted cheese

too bad it makes me bloated :[

any good alternatives?

>>12552241
drizzle some olive oil on it.

stop eating junk food all day and regular food will taste better. and don't overcook your chicken.

>>12552305
>better

Better but not as good

Bump

>>12552241
try an italian salad dressing and toss in some blue cheese. works really well with olive + balsamic vinegar

No, healthy food wont ever taste as good as things doused in salt, fat and sugar.

Yes, meat is healthy and is the single greatest tasting food on this planet.

>>12552069
I had a nutrition instructor in college who believed it better to make healthy food a bit less healthy if you'll eat it, than to only eat unhealthy food.

For example shared greens, and added bacon grease to cook them so she could get her fiber. Not ass healthy, but better than no fiber

>>12552069
>t. man with early onset osteoporosis.

>>12555149
yep
it's best to create a healthy relationship with food and to genuinely enjoy what you do eat.

>>12555135
so douse your vegetables in salt, fat, and/or sugar
you can eat a fuck ton of roasted vegetables with a little butter and salt/pepper every day and still lose weight
>>12555149
this

>>12552163
It's calorically dense so it's not ideal to eat so haphazardly.

>>12552163
Enjoy your inflammation

>>12555149
>Not ass healthy

>>12555135
t. fattie

rice + egg + stock+veg .Yum

>>12555455
Non shitskins dont have to worry about that

>>12552046
Is that whypepo food?

>>12552046
healthy food should taste good, you just need to make sure you don't overeat. i actually find real junk food unsatisfying most of the time. but people misunderstand what "healthy" means. just eating a dry salad for a meal isn't healthy.

VEGGIES MAKE GURG SICK.
GURG NO EAT
ANIMAL FLESH ONLY BECAUSE GURG ALPHA MALE AND NOT PREY

>>12552241
raw or undercooked broccoli gives me digestion, try cooking the broccoli until fully cooked and soft if that's not how you've been eating it

>>12552069
it's not unhealthy, just higher in calories. but i love steamed broccoli with vinegar, i can eat almost a whole pound of it that way in one sitting. almost any vegetable tastes good just with a bit of vinegar or lemon.

>>12555863
What is healthy then?

>>12555891
I don't understand how anyone can like the taste of brocolli.

>>12555956
well op's pic is pretty healthy actually, but it looks like it's going to be unpleasant because the chicken and nuts are both dry. and so is the broccoli. you could make it taste better just by grinding the nuts to make a sauce for the chicken. and making a simple dressing of herbs and vinegar for the broccoli.

though my point was just that fat and carbs aren't really unhealthy like a lot of people think as long as you aren't overeating in general and also limiting the refined carbs. but i guess knowing how to prepare it matters just as much too because a few alterations would make op's food taste a lot better without changing nutrition much.

>>12555964
i think it tastes almost sweet if you steam or roast it until it's soft. same thing with cabbage, brussels sprouts, etc. and adding a little vinegar gives it a nice sweet/sour flavor combo. i know most people say vegetables shouldn't be cooked until totally soft but "tender-crisp" vegetables just taste bad to me because they don't taste as refreshing as raw vegetables and they don't have the sweetness of fully cooked soft vegetables.

>>12555455
Nigger detected

>>12555149
>shared greens
What?

>>12552046
Yes.
I fucking love salad so much.

Healthy food tastes better than junk when you can actually cook. Junk food also gives you heartburn ad acid reflux, males you feel sluggish and gross. I'll take healthy food over junk any day of the week, but I'd be lying if I said I never had a chocolate bar or a bag of chips to satiate a craving. But only every once in a while, everything in moderation.

>>12555192
>believing dairy prevents that.
Hey, tell me more about buying war bonds, gramps.

>>12552046

Soy sauce, ginger, garlic, onion, chilies, paprika, good quality fish, good quality extra virgin olive oil, olives, many good things you can use to elevate the taste of a dish...eating healthy does not mean you need to eat blank, raw vegetables with grilled chicken

>>12552069
>thinking eating healthy will make you live more
Literal smokers who smoked a pack a day outlived health nuts like you
Fucking kys retard also
>wanting to live more
CRINGE

>>12552046
Start off eating dark meat instead of cardboard white.

>>12556104
>thinking eating healthy will make you live more
it's not a 100% guarantee but just because there are some statistical outliers doesn't mean it doesn't matter, it's still a pretty easy way to almost guarantee a longer life

>>12556088
So share with us some of these amazing recipes that taste better than junk and are also healthy

>>12556040
They taste like vomit to me.

>>12552069
>cheese is bad for you

>>12556153
do you eat a lot of sugary food? that can make some things just seem overly bitter and unpleasant.

>>12556114
true but, ask yourself this, do you enjoy your healthy diet? is possibly living longer worth the drop in quality of life because you don't enjoy eating anymore? I'm not saying you've got to eat trash, just don't avoid using things like butter and other tasty stuff in moderation just because it's supposedly unhealthy.

>>12556164
No I don't.

It's sort of an eggy, vomity taste rather than bitterness.

>>12556192
green vegetables can sometimes have a bit of a sulfur taste if they aren't fully cooked. like i said though, try steaming them until they're fully soft and adding a little vinegar. or you can bake them in a covered dish tossed with a little butter until soft, then take the cover off and let it brown a bit before adding a little vinegar again.

>>12556202
I have had them fully cooked and still have the same issue with them

I think it might be a genetic thing, I'm tasting something that you're not, even when they're fully cooked and seasoned.

>>12556206
>I think it might be a genetic thing
yeah there are probably genes that make some foods more or less appealing to people. as long as you kept trying it.

>>12556162
>2019
>Thinking cheese isn't bad for you

Lentils and chickpeas. The two most delicious foods.

>>12556403
Lentils are higher in phytoestrogens than soy. :(

>>12552241
preheat oven at 425-475 with pan inside
mix broccoli with olive oil, garlic or garlic powder, salt, pepper, lemon, and parmesan
roast for 20-25 minutes
finish off with a bit more oil and lemon

>>12556409
What? No they aren’t. Besides, soy is only bad for you estrogen-wise if you eat it raw and frequently, which is why you should avoid soymilk.

>>12556182
>because you don't enjoy eating anymore
Ever since I've started caring about "healthy" food, I don't think I've ever enjoyed eating more. No chocolate and chips in the world can beat a well seasoned vegetable curry.

>>12552046
Not possible. Either add butter and salt to everything or just grin and bare it.

>>12552046
Yeah if you refine your palette. I used to eat junk food all the time and still do to an extent but now I can't stomach deep fried things and rarely go out of my way to overindulge. Gourmet food though is typically unhealthy, lots of salt, fat, butter, oil, etc. for flavor.

If you're eating for health vs. weight loss, expect different recipes and limitations. Soup is easy to make taste good and add a lot of veges. Also search for gourmet vegetarian/vegan to get an idea of good tasting low cal meals if you're going for weight loss, but expect to do more work or add more shit to make it taste decent.

>>12552046
If it tastes like shit, just add more seasoning.

>>12556426
Please give us your vegetable curry recipe

>>12556508
Sorry I ate it at a restaurant, but it's on my todo list to make one myself.

Is no one going to mention the say yes to face mask in the OP pic.

>>12552046
Bacon and eggs tastes pretty good. It's also simple to make.

>>12552046
Yes actually, just continually eat healthy. When I was about 21 I started to eat only healthy foods, or food that was full of nutrition and good for me. I avoid fried stuff and desserts like the plague, anything processed is completely off limits for me. I first noticed the difference when I was 26, I was at a bar and decided to splurge a little. I ordered some fried food. I couldnt even make it past the first one. It tasted DISGUSTING. All that salt and fat just flooding my tastebuds, overriding the taste of anything to hit them for the next 6 hours...Nasty. I literally cant eat anything unhealthy now. Its all just gross to me and makes me feel sluggish and awful. So yeah. Discipline is all you need.

>>12552046
Its way less about recipes and more about retraining your taste buds. The American food industry has sought to destroy your tastebuds from childbirth, so you only like nasty junk. Soda, high fructose corn syurp, artifical sweeterners and sugars. Everything in modern food is weaponized to ruin your tastebuds, so you need to reset them if youve been eating the standard American diet.

>>12558787
How long do they take to reset.

>>12558782
So what do you like to eat instead, specifically? What's your favourite evening meal?

>>12559322
i didn't keep track but probably a year or two for me. I'd rather cook my own food, something healthy. I hate salt now from cooking for myself. i don't add much at all to mine, so thats the main reason i can't eat fast food anymore. too much fucking salt. can't stand it.

>>12559346
oh and im not the same person you were talking to. just someone else that eats healthy and doesn't suffer at the taste

>>12555455
some of us are white and normal, retard.

yes. its easy. here is one of my absolute favorite meals:
salad bar, eitehr sweet tomatos or sizzler
spring greens, red onion, shredded carrot, shredded cabbage, blue cheese, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, cherry or grape tomatos, shredded zucchini and/or broccoli, dressing: lemon juice and salt and freshly ground black pepper (bring it yourself), Maybe some extra virgin olive oil. i can eat a giant platter of this. extdremely satisfying.

>>12552046

Junk food tastes "good" because it's calorie dense via fat and sugar. Simple as. No, "healthy" food won't taste that good, but you can recalibrate your palate by weening yourself off junk food until you're done with it, or only occasionally eat it. The last time I drank a soda I vomited due to thr sugar content.

>>12556425
Pretty certain that the soy is cooked before it's made into soymilk.

>>12552046

>>12560806

>>12558782

>>12552046
Actually looks decent
Just sprinkle some lemon juice on the broccoli and have a grain instead of the nuts
If you're gonna meal prep a fuckton of chicken make a really nice sauce like a verde or rojo and slow cook the chicken in the sauce until it shreds so it doesn't dry out in the fridge

>>12556104
>some people who do bad things will have good results therefore doing bad things will tend to give you better results than doing good things
You should go out and have ten kids by four baby daddies and tell us how it worked out well for all of the kids just because one of them got drafted in the third round by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Congratulations, you're not obese any more.

>>12552046
You chose to pick plain nuts as your source of fat. Halve the nuts and replace them with some natural yoghurt, blue cheese, bit of fresh parsley and garlic, diced celery. Mix up a nice creamy chicken and broccoli salad.

Dairy is not healthy.
