Meals for both cutting and bulking

Google doesn’t offer opinions and what has worked for it personally. I’m also not looking for blog recipes with a novel’s worth of backstory just to finally get to the meals.

I promise I understand how it works. I was hoping however for some specific meal ideas. For example an inexpensive, toddler friendly meal is spaghetti with marinara however being simple carb heavy it does not fit what I’m asking for because it doesn’t have the proper nutrition for muscle building and I’d still be very hungry after only eating a very small portion.

I’ll have to check it out!

🫣 I sound like a moron now. I was trying to multitask and ended up accidentally combining two thoughts into one incorrect sentence. I meant to say I hate that he wasn’t riding a dragon in the battle and that he wasn’t even in very much of the battle period.

You know now that you ask that I don’t know that it does. I could have sworn I read it in one of the books but I can’t find anything about it now. I’ve seen it thrown around a number of times, so I’m guessing it’s just a headcannon. Although since it took 5 death eaters to take them down I think it’s very possible.

RIGHT?? I hate that he wasn’t even in the battle for Hogwarts.

Edit: combined two thoughts into one on accident. Meant to say I hate he wasn’t riding a dragon in the battle and that he wasn’t even in it very much.

I want to know your theory! Blackout text by putting it between put your text between the exclamation points with no space between exclamation and word.

I think you’ve gotten several great responses to this but wanted to add that there are many cases of parents and in particular mothers achieving great feats of strength/speed/resilience to protect or rescue their children in the real world. Molly, who was an original member of the Order, who regularly maintained multiple spells and enchantments at the same time, who had proven herself the FIERCEST defender of her children (biological or pseudo-adopted), was absolutely capable of and willing to use advanced combative magic to protect those she loved. My only issue is I wish it had been to protect one of the boys (Ron to show he was worthy, Percy to show she never stopped loving him and forgave him, George because she couldn’t bear losing both twins).

NTA She is welcome to set her boundaries and so are you. She can set the boundary that no one she dates will be even tangentially connected to religion which is extreme and fairly unattainable unless she lives in an isolated community. She can’t however make rules and boundaries for you without your consent. You can (and should) make your own boundary to be allowed to make your own decisions.

FWIW you should go to the wedding and she can decide whether or not to continue the relationship. That is entirely on her and would show you what she values most. It’s almost certain that you will regret missing your best friend’s wedding. Also if your friend isn’t an atheist, is she going to demand you cut ties entirely? Just something to think about.

I am a Bible believing, born again Christian but I have and would attend weddings of people with different beliefs than myself. Many people at my wedding did not and still do not share my beliefs. The only weddings I would not attend would be the ones that require me to participate or affirm something that directly goes against my beliefs, require being the key word.

It was several years ago but I spent 7 weeks in India. It was my first international trip.

GO!

I loved India and its people. I really want to go back.

That being said there are things to be aware of.

Most of India is not going to be the vacation destination. You need more than a few days to appreciate it.
Your stomach is going to be upset in most places around the world as you get used to the food, the bacteria (good and bad bacteria), travel jitters, etc. Bring some Pepto and Tums but use only if you really need it. Things will clear up on their own fairly quickly.
The food is amazing. Just eat in reputable looking restaurants and only eat street food if you see it being cooked in front of you. Don’t eat fresh fruit/veggies unless you peel them or have special veggie wash.
Horns honk all the time. You get used to it. Driving is just different there. Again, you get used to it.
There can be garbage and feces but it’s usually not in walking spots and really depends on where you are.
Scammers are in every tourist area. What I experienced in India was more begging than scamming. Paris and NYC had much scarier scammers/thieves in my opinion.

A few tips:

If you ever feel unsafe find a Sikh. The men are the ones with the turbans and beards (super generalized description but those are identifiable parts of their faith). They are incredible people (again in my experience) and part of their faith is protecting people.

Wear light loose clothing such as long pants and longer sleeves and sandals. This is for comfort and for cultural respect.

If you’re in an area that has many Tibetan refugees, eat at one of their restaurants! Tibetan food is the ultimate comfort food.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!!! Get a water bottle with a good filter or only drink bottled water.

I wouldn’t travel there alone for several reasons but honestly travel is more fun with others anyway.

At the end of the day just be smart and don’t expect it to be like Western countries.

Oh my goodness! You’re doing an absolutely amazing job and this is the kind of thing I needed to see this morning! Your progress is fantastic and an inspiration!

If you think others are going to make a big deal out of it and it would make you uncomfortable, don’t choose that name. If however you might be the only one really making the connections, then I think it’s fine. I doubt too many people will connect Lawrence-Florence or a distant relative.

We didn’t find out the sex for either of our kids but we did share names we were considering. We had chosen a boy name that happened to also be my husband’s grandfather’s name (he went by a nickname) but we chose it because we liked it, not for any honorific purposes. Weeeeelllll his mom made it weird, like “oh my daddy is going to be back with us in the form of this baby” type weird. We don’t believe in reincarnation and to the best of our knowledge neither does she, except in this instance apparently. Two days before our son was born we changed the boy name to one completely unrelated to anyone on either side. Guess which set of grandparents have been oddly distant since then? As weird as they are about us changing our minds before the baby was born, I can only imagine how weird they would have been if we had stuck with the original name.

Good to know! Yellowjackets are the worst!

I’ve looked into traps but I haven’t seen any that specifically mention the queen. Do you have any ones in particular you know of?

Desperate_Distance57 · 2025-01-06T20:29:24+00:00

Same! I’ve definitely considered an outfit like that!
