Cutting sucks

Food is fuel and construction material.
I live in the netherlands rn and basically at some point in history there was a guy called Calvin who convinced almost everybody to see food this way. To this day traditional dutch food is the blandest, saddest assortment of dishes imaginable. Thank god for immigrants bringing in some flavour.
Just smear some herring on it

Are you taking this picture from your bunker?
This is the most depressing lighting I've ever seen.
Seriously, it looks like your taking this picture from The Backrooms.
On a cut like this you dont want to actually see your food.

my brother in Christ, the blitz is over, the bombs have stopped - you no longer have to eat like this
Hail Satan.

I have eaten like this before. Food is fuel and construction material. I need the nutrition to operate my body. Nothing more. The less I think about what it tastes like the more I can think about it as numbers on a spreadsheet.
That being said if I were OP I'd invest in a slow cooker and yes, some paprika. Maybe some dehydrated garlic, cumin, and cayenne as well. This exact dish would be much more appealing if the chicken were shredded and it was in a bowl on top of the rice and broccoli.
Edit: also that's nowhere near enough broccoli
Mental illness is a struggle we all must face at some point my brother

It's like 5 calories of broccoli with all those nutrients, but like 350 of basically empty carbs.
More like 40 but same difference

My depression is the opposite, cooking and baking fatty foods and eating it all
That's the coping mechanism, effective or otherwise, not the depression.

A whole chicken breast during a famine? That sounds luxurious. I was under the impression that animal protein was incredibly rare.
Long pig comes into season eventually

Carbs are required for muscle building.
I go with beans. You get carbs and nutrients.

And protein

halve the rice and triple the broccoli
Everyone has different nutritional needs. If you're doing chicken broccoli rice, it's probably because it's much easier to measure out an exact amount of macronutrients to fit your needs and fill up the rest on broccoli to make it as satiating as needed.
What does that have to do with seasoning?

Yeah, when I'm cutting I'll do a fuck load of seitan, cut out the rice and have 300g of broccoli, with a flavoured with a ton of spices. Genuinely tasty and something I enjoy, cutting doesn't need to be punishment.

Don't deserve flavour, don't deserve light.

You know there's no calories in normal seasoning?
Tasty food gives dopamine. Dopamine gives you motivation to do stuff.
You're just unnecessarily doing it on hard mode without at least some pepper
Edit: also halve the rice and triple the broccoli
Tasty food just makes you want to eat more.

Not if you fill up with tasty fibre rich food

Meh. Everything in moderation. Including self-imposed suffering. Sleep late. Eat tasty food. Have days where you just exist. Fuel is for cars.

This shit is ridiculous. Being a person should not require such nonsense.

I never understood why all the gym people I see in work seem to eat food with the flavour removed, like some paprika or pepper might ruin everything.
From personal experience its because we like food way to much. Its harder to eat less when the food tastes good. I found it was much easier when I treated food like an activity I had to force myself to do. I'd just cook some meat and boil some mixed veggies and then force it down. I was eating like 200-500g of pasta and almost a kg of food for dinner I felt so fucking sick after every meal.
At that point even if I seasoned the chicken I was so sick of it that I would still not enjoy it.

And this is why a lot of fit people have terrible eating disorders. Don't do this.

I'd rather have an eating disorder when I'm choosing to eat clean healthy food in the exact amount i want than eating to much unhealthy food and being unable to control my weight.
However i dont class that as an eating disorder. Its fine to make the choice to put minimal effort into food. Especially when it becomes such an unenjoyable part of the day. And you have to eat big to get big

There is a big gap between eating like shit and putting some pepper on your chicken. If you literally can't control yourself around food that is a problem and creating unhealthy eating habits to avoid that problem isn't the solution... Unless you plan on forcing yourself to eat flavourless food for the rest of your life.

It is, and it only gets worse the longer you do it; please find a healthier solution before a bad habit becomes a full blown disorder.

Again putting seasoning on your food isn't a complicated process, and forcing yourself to eat flavourless food every single day is definitely unhealthy. If you really struggle with self control around food then speak with someone about that problem instead; imagine eating tasty, healthy food in moderation.
