This is a wonky one for me. I've been eating bland for 3 decades and only started seriously bulking up the past year. -> I just noticed that I had shifted strongly towards spicier foods. Think No salsa on burrito for 10 years, to Hot salsa + pass the Tabasco.

There is a known correlation between testosterone levels and the spice level preference, there isn't however a clear causation.

Have you had any similar experience? Did you start reaching out for Tabasco before, or after you started hitting the gym seriously? What's your experience like?
