incomplete protein, low bioavailability

meat is king

No Christian should eat meat during Lent.

But meat during lent is for FAGGOTS

East, West, Prot, whatever.

Great lent is a time for piety, not indulgence

Very true

I can assure you, the greatest of Saints would have gone without meat for Lent.

For me personally, eating zero carb (meat and animal products only) silences concupiscence, gives mental clarity and energy, and I feel fantastic.

Eating plants makes me bloated and lazy

sugar too

Lent is about sacrifice, or personal preference.

The plan for Lent from today onward is no food on Wed and Fri at all, and only one meal per day otherwise.

That's a pretty good plan.

Not good enough for @GodFearingEnglishman 😦

Get your protein from nuts and seeds

no thanks i don't need any more estrogen

Beans are a good option, too.

Not all beans are soy.

Fug if I was fat as I was this time last year, I could have pulled off a 40 day black fast

Serves me right for losing 85 lbs right after Lent last year

If i can survive of only no meat soups, bread and veggie sandwiches, you western caths can survive surely with the posibility of eating eggs, milk, butter and fish.

And if i'm not mistaking catholics only have to strictly abstain from it on fridays.

Yeah I know. If you're okay with going vegan for 40 days, more power to you.

I just don't see the spiritual reason to make myself fat and complacent for Lent

I'm okay, the idea is that it's really hard in the western world where you can barely find restaurants that adjust their menus.

Or as a whole without knowing how to cook veggie meals lmao.

You probably shouldn't be going to restaurants during Lent anyway lol

Russian restaurants adjust their menus for great lent.

Of course, because they're culturally Orthodox

livin in prot country lent is seen as an evil ritual or some shit like that

Yeah, the idea is that i don't think going to restaurants is wrong specially if i don't know how to prepare stuff.

tell me about it, i'm in Tennessee

big oof

im in MA but there isnt a catholic church near me at all

just baptist and methodists

F

F

I love TN

I assume there aren't orthodox either.
