Eating protein at breakfast can prevent overeating later on in the day to compensate for missed energy, she said. The average Western diet contains enough protein, Pigott said, but we tend to have only one high-protein meal toward the end of the day, meaning our intake is not spread evenly. Pigott shared three easy, balanced breakfast recipes that she always has on hand. She scrambles two eggs with a few teaspoons of milk, which gives her about 13 grams of protein, she said.

☆ ‘The Buccaneers’ review: Edith Wharton’s last novel becomes a ‘Bridgerton’ wannabe
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-08 | by ( Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

Although “The Buccaneers” comes with the literary pedigree of being based on Edith Wharton’s last, unfinished novel, the series so desperately wants to emulate “Bridgerton” that it almost makes your teeth ache, down to the mix of corsets and contemporary music. The result is a mildly watchable Apple TV+ series that proves, to quote Fred Allen, imitation is the sincerest form of streaming, too. Even so, everything feels a little too familiar, including the series’ hissable villain, hidden beneath a polished and presentable veneer. Consumed entirely on its terms, “The Buccaneers” works reasonably well as a soapy distraction for those willing to check their brains at the ballroom door. “The Buccaneers” premieres November 8 on Apple TV+.

“I’m here to say we have a plan that is turning things around incredibly quickly.” He added that “we have more work to do.”Republicans have criticized Mr. Biden for high inflation, high interest rates that make borrowing more expensive, and the cost of everyday necessities like health care, child care, groceries, gas and more. “Americans don’t want Biden to ‘finish the job.’”Administration officials acknowledge there is more work to do in bringing down inflation, but they note it has fallen for 11 straight months. Mr. Biden has signed trillions of dollars in economic legislation since taking office. Administration officials this week released new analyses to underscore how those laws are beginning to boost the economy. In other areas, though, administration officials continue to make claims about Mr. Biden’s record that are not supported by evidence.

Her two oldest children were living in New York, while her two youngest were still in college. As the pandemic raged, Ms. Snyder and her daughter shared a two-bedroom in a high-rise on Riverside Boulevard. But “the process of looking teaches you what you want,” Ms. Snyder said. “Or instead of a 10-by-12 living room, it was a 14-by-12 living-and-dining room,” with little room for a table. “It is a draw for my kids,” Ms. Snyder said.

Areas where conditions are similar are more prone to spillover, scientists say. The Reuters analysis, which assessed spillover risk through 2020, has proven to have some predictive power. Similar statistical models are used widely to analyze data in ecology, and researchers use them to understand spillover risk. More than one of every five people on the planet is living in areas where the risk is highest for spillover. Using epidemic modeling software called GLEAMviz, the news agency simulated a worldwide pandemic originating from the spillover of a theoretical novel virus.

Biden aides have discovered two batches of classified documents from when he was vice president. "When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House? Over in the US House Republicans have already launched an investigation. Trump is the only person to have announced a 2024 campaign for the White House, but his campaign has been off to a slow start. Some commentators even predicted that the perception of a double standard around the Biden documents investigation would derail a potential Trump indictment.

The Mississippi state auditor said Favre never gave the speeches and demanded the money back, with interest. In an interview with the website Mississippi Today, Bryant said he never knew the grants came from welfare money. The former head of the state welfare agency, John Davis, has pleaded not guilty to state charges of bribery and conspiracy, and law enforcement officials say the investigations continue. Favre defended himself in a series of tweets last year against allegations from White, the state auditor, that he accepted state money for speeches he never intended to give. Marcus Dupree, a former college football star, also received $370,000 in welfare funds, which prosecutors say partly went to fund his horse ranch.
