elcee 3,342 Posted December 26, 2019 You are there for a week,I am sure whatever food they have it will be fine. Just keep the portions small and focus on Proteins first. https://www.baconismagic.ca/cuba/cuban-food/ Im sure the food is no more unhealthy than in other countries such as the USA! 3 sillykitty, FluffyChix and RobertaMSN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lvidacovich 372 Posted December 26, 2019 How are you going? I had a trip planned there earlier this year but our wonderful president decided to close Cuba via the two methods I was planning on using to travel there and my trips were cancelled. So jealous is an understatement! I'm still trying to find a way in. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll have to eat at the restaurants they have for foreigners (which you'd probably want to ANYWAY). The standard meal when I was there seemed to be a slab of meat, Beans & rice, and salad (which we didn't eat because you're basically not supposed to eat the fruits & vegetables unless they're peeled (like bananas) or cooked). edited to add that granted, it's been several years since I was there (2004), but I'd be surprised if things have changed all that much..

Shredded beef = protien. I was there 2 years ago and prior to surgery. Back then it was one serving for me, now I'd get 4-5 servings out of it. Enjoy !
