Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice -

[Neigh]

My brother lives off broccoli, chicken, cauliflower, and brown rice. He usually mixes it all in a bowl and sometimes adds soy sauce.
White rice has a high glycemic index and virtually no nutritional value. Potato would be a lot better from a nutrition standpoint and brown rice if you want rice. Using butter to cook the chicken and broccoli will add needed fat.
Adding soy sauce to the broccoli if you pan cook it will make it taste good.
Look up "Blackened Redfish Magic" if you like a slightly spicy seasoning mix for your chicken. The recipe is online. Lemon chicken with rosemary is good as well.

they're all tasty assuming you do them right, but rice and broccoli are sponges if you're a drinker, and you can get sick af depending on what you mix with them

We all know the meme. But is it actually a decent dietary meal choice that actually provides quality results? How has it work for you, if you tried it, Kiwis?

You don't get "results" from a meal lolz.

I do eat chicken and broccoli daily. The simple reason being that I find chicken the best tasting protein source that isn't stupid calories for the content, and also because I genuinely like broccoli.

I also do, however, like onions, peppers, carrots; any vegetable realistically speaking apart from actual dogshit like Brussel sprouts and spinach.

brussel sprouts are better if you split them in half and bake them, great if you put some pork fat or something on top of the half flat side up

Agree, also Broccoli. Cut up into mouth sized pieces, take a pairing knife to the thicker stalk part and make an X in it, lay this out on a pan, drizzle olive oil, and some good salt on top. Roast it in the oven hot, for maybe 13 minutes, at around 400F. Becomes a whole new vegetable, and I would argue is easier than boiling it.

White rice has a high glycemic index

The glycemic index of white rice, I understand what it means, but I wonder if this is overstated because 70% of the population is overweight and obese? Is this something to really be concerned about if you're very active/doing weights? Genuine question for the Chicken Broccoli Rice people.

boiling is basically the worst way to cook anything outside of noodles and maybe potatoes

No idea.

 

[XYZpdq]

No idea.

from my own "bike about six miles each day" then no, you can literally eat whatever the fuck you want as long as you keep your ass active
like, I actually tried around a year or few back at Christmastime and I had to go full "eat pastries all day, drink beer all night" to put on anything near a gut

This sounds very similar to what I'd have for dinner on my fast days when I was on 5:2 intermittent fasting*, only I was eating chicken, rice and peas (because I didn't know that chicken, rice and broccoli was a thing). To keep as close to the 600 calories permitted for the day, I'd poach half a skinless chicken breast fillet, slice it once cooked and then stir it into the rice and peas.

idk what difference peas would make as opposed to broccoli wrt to muscle gain, though it looks like peas are more calorie dense than broccoli. Make of that what you will.

Same. I'd zshoosh up my chicken, rice and peas with a bit of soy sauce.

* 5:2 IF worked really well for me (lost 30lbs and felt great when on it, YMMV), but my personal circumstances changed and I ended up letting IF go. It's definitely worth trying at least once, though.
