Imagine if you could build quality-muscle with just fat and sugar.
Then the meals would look different.

I'd be eating Pizza with extra cheese, Kebab, Kibbutz, Kolchos, Sovchos, Ahlgrens Bilar, Rock Candy, Chips and CHeese Doodles, Burger King and McDonalds, topping it off with Soft Drinks each and every day.

Black Bean Burritos
Kale Greens
Sea salt

You'd feel like shit all day. I feel like absolute shit when I eat garbage more than 2 days in a row.

Sure, but it could be even more delicious with salad, dressing etc

For dieting, I'd say that is far from bland though.

Some low/fat or fat free dressing would be fine.
They like to pretend they are suffering for their art.

Its just bullshit.

Chilli: might upset his stomach.
Dressing: only off season.
Salad: most blacks don't eat veggies (check mr Coleman's vids).

Because male bodybuilders are notoriously lazy, bad cooks. Watch Antoine Vaillant's kitchen videos for examples of this. Toney Freeman is the only dude I've ever heard of who takes joy in preparing his meals (and he looks fucking excellent, so flavor is clearly not a physique destroyer).

Notice to lazy bodybuilders: I'll do your grocery shopping and prepare your meals to your macro specifications, and it'll all taste awesome. In exchange, you pay my rent (if you can pay your own, which may or may not be the case depending on how truly lazy you are.) Offer's on the table haha. Never eat wack shit again!

Post either the ingredients or a Pic.

Correct. There are soooo many ways to season the poultry, fish and beef and adding various veggies and complex carbs. All it is, is lack of knowledge and laziness. BUT, if you're eating 5-7 times per day, every day, it becomes very difficult and time consuming just for meal prep to keep it interesting.

I would honestly :rolleyes:, if asked, Phil said he was suffering through a meal like that. Even not dieting it looks good and appetizing.

It would include SPICES and maybe a vegetable or two (but the vegetables are just because I enjoy shitting like a regular human being. His Mr O plan may not allow for that sort of thing - what do I know?)
I make a lot of curry when I prep, and chili powder can make damn near anything taste like barbecue. You know what else rules? STEW. You still get everything you need and you can still measure it like anything else because everything is chunky, BUT it's flavorful. Can also be cooked IN BULK so you don't have to prepare meals a bazillion times a week...

Dude, world star hip hop Hebrews is not representative of all Hebrews. I dont remember if you're from here or not but that's like me using white trash and saying that's how all white people are and we know that's anything but the case. Different classes of people eat different foods. Poor of all races eat like shit. Because it's cheap and doesn't require much prep (lazy). Middle Class (me) I eat no different that any of you whites. Although I still have an affinity for soul food if I want to be a glutton  ;D and rich Hebrews I'm sure eat much different than me. It's a class thing within America.

He may speak for many of them, but not ALL of them (as in 100 % of USA and Africa)

Listen to Parker for example, not once have you heard a "yip yip" from him.
