Why is chicken+rice+broccoli considered the epitome of 'Health food'?
It's not, idiot.
>>37430107
lmao
try again
>>37430107
Because it's essentially a perfect meal
>Chicken - Great source of protein
>Rice - Great source of cabrohydrates and plenty of fibres
>Broccoli - A lot of fibres, vitamins and minerals
If you don't eat CRB everyday you will never make it
SRB is also god tier
>>37430107
>skin on the chicken
TRY AGAIN
>>37430107
Mostly because /fit/izens have no idea how to cook anything, also because the macros are pretty good between the chicken and the broc and brown rice has good carbs.
>>37430107
Satisfying, good nutrients, easy to make, tastes good.
>not quinoa, kangaroo and kale
>no lentils mixed with rice
It's like you're not even trying.
>>37430147
Assuming srb is steak rice broccoli? Wish I could afford steak every day.

No, salmon rice broccoli

No, semen/rice/broccoli
Its like you dont even /fit/
>>37430147
But chicken isn't a particularly healthy source of protein (what does chicken do for your health?), white rice is shit for anything and even brown rice barely has fiber, and broccoli, while healthy, isn't as nutritious as dark green leafy vegetables like spinach or kale.
>>37430107
To answer your question OP, it's because it's easy to make, cheap, most people can stand eating it, and it could be worse. "It could be worse" is good enough to be called healthy these days.
>>37430401
>>37430550
You're both wrong, it stands for scoops, rice and broccoli
>>37430866
beef liver is one of the dankest protein sources imo
i always like to eat chicken, tuna and broccoli
you can also always substitute the chicken for tilapia.
I think it's famous because it's cheap, has good macros, and a neutral flavor, even broccoli has a pretty neutral taste compared to other veggies like tomatoes or celery
>>37430147
What's your fluffy rice recipe. My stove top rice is garbage.
>>37430866

>>37430990
It's not something you can eat much of safely
>>37430107
I fucking hate this meal. Really the only healthy thing there is the broccoli
Replace the rice with sweet potatoes or some other nutritious carb, and add some fat and it'd be much better

Are you one of those retards that think that sweet potato is healthier than regular potato as well?

It is though

>>37431249

>>37431196
Where did I say chicken is bad?
And sweet potatoes are miles better than normal potatoes, they're one of the best things you can eat. Normal potatoes are okay but just don't compare
>>37431005
Get basmati rice, its idiot proof, don't put your heat too high, use 2:1 ratio if water to rice and add salt before the rice.
If you still get it wrong, invest in a rice cooker.
>>37431280
It's regular science. The beta-carotene content and anti-cancer potential of even the skin of the sweet potato blows white potatoes away.
>>37430932
>not scoops, roids and bromance
>>37431282
You said it wasn't healthy
>And sweet potatoes are miles better than normal potatoes
They really aren't, it's a meme that has become mainstream in the bodybuilding community
Sweet potatoes are great, but so are regular potatoes.
The only difference is really that sweet potatoes contain vitamin A and got some more minerals than regular potatoes.
The carbohydrates in regular potatoes are better though and regular potatoes contain more carbohydrates
Guys guys can we stop fighting and just get along? :)
>>37430107
Well it's a perfectly serviceable meal if you aren't eating it 7 days a week.
I think really it's because it is easy to make and most early 20 something gym goers aren't interested in / can't cook very well and have no creativity when it comes to new recipes.
I'm really glad I'm a good cook because while i don't mind it, I think I would struggle to just eat it all time.
Chicken is health neutral and is a huge chunk of protein. Healthier than almost any other comparable protein source other than fish.
Brown rice is very cheap, easy to make, and is a whole grain. Good carbs for refueling pre or post workout.
Broccoli is fiber and vitamins and shit and again easy to make.
The meal is missing healthy fats, but most people get plenty of fats in other daily meals such as from milk. It's obviously not the healthiest thing you can eat, but for the cost and ease it's much healthier than most common alternatives in America.

Vitamin and mineral content isn't the only thing to look at to determine if something is healthy (not that the great beta-carotene levels aren't a big bonus)

I never said that sweet potatoes aren't healthy, but they aren't better or worse than regular potatoes.

I think his point is why does that make it healthy? What does "it's a great source of protein" do for your health?

Clearly they are. White potatoes have none of the shit that makes sweet potatoes so healthy.

You're all wrong. The meal of ineffable, undeniable vitality and strength is
Salad:
>Avocado
>Organic virgin olive oil
>Quinoa
>pepper
>beans
With a side of eggs and a glass of creamline milk. Everything else is pussy shit.
>>37430107
Cheap, easy, good macros, no extra garbage. It's really hard to beat.
There's more to it than simply "omg, eat THIS or you will fail." Once you understand the math behind calories and macronutrients, and start looking for foods that fit your goals, you will just naturally gravitate towards those kinds of foods, simply because there just isn't anything better for anything remotely resembling a reasonable price.
>>37430107
FUCK RICE
RICE IS A MEME YOU PLEBEIANS. YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE EATING GODDAMN BREAD OR POPTARTS FOR CARBS.
BEANS ARE THE HEALTHY CARB.
MORE THAN NEGLIGIBLE FIBER CONTENT.
FAIR AMOUNT OF PROTEIN.
FILLING AS FUARK.
rice is literally for faggots that want their food to taste good.
Lentils and beans are how real men source carbs.
Y'all are some fiber deficient pussies... I bet you are so deficient in fiber, you start farting when you eat beans. That is your body saying it is too shitty to handle proper fiber intake
>looking at slides of healthy foods and info about them on different websites

beans are like a cross between chicken and vegetables. lots of protein but they also do things that improve your health. black beans every day.

Nutritionally similar to quinoa but tastier, cheaper, and cooks faster
Those are very small portions. Are they snacks or something?
I eat 3 cups of cooked rice/day + oats and bread.
I HATE broccoli.

Chickens dont come from africa, fucktard.
American black people eat chicken, because white people fed them chicken.
Shit is as european as it gets..
If that was fried chicken, maybe.
But even that is more southern food than black food.
Chitterlings and collard greens = negro foodstuffs
>>37433491
SHE'S MAKING SUCH A FUCKING MESS WHAT THE FUCK
>>37433546
black people eat it
its the closest they have of culture
>>37433541
Pretty much any other.
Cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, salad, carrots, lettuce, bell pepper, etc. I could eat them all day
Broccoli just makes me want to puke.

Yes. Bring to boil, reduce and simmer covered for 40 minutes or until water is absorbed, stirring often to avoid boil over.

>>37433757

What.
Whole point of rice is that you can prepare it quickly, just about same time as chicken and broccoli.
>>37433491
>tfw no cute, petite, cooking wife to make me exotic dishes.
>>37433769

Not this shit again. Eggs ARE healthy. check newest research.
How do you guys cook your broccoli?
When I first started I began blanching it and that tasted awful. So then I tried blanching it and throwing it in the pan after the chicken was cooked to soak up some of the sauce and that's alright, but I'm looking for a better method.
Also, I usually add the rice along with cut up red peppers when I do that with the broccoli so everything has that chicken flavor.
>>37434400
Mind sharing some links to this research? At best I thought they would be neutral at a few a week.
>>37430107

Most likely brown rice. It requires a much longer cooking time. A pre-soak yields best results.

Chicken is just too cheap to not buy. I bought some thighs for 0.99 per lb because water/chicken blood spilled all over the wrapping.
I've been looking into tilapia though, looks to be around $1 per serving.
