-5 pounds pork butt, cut into 2 inch cubes(I trim 75-90% of the fat so I get 6-7 lb when I buy it)
-5 tablespoons annato seeds
-2 teaspoons cumin seeds
-1 tablespoon whole black pepper
-1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
-8 whole allspice berries
-2 habanero Peppers, fresh or dried, cleaned and minced (optional) (I use 3-4, i like mine with some kick, s’good for the heart…or so they say)
-1/2 cup orange juice
-1/2 cup white vinegar
-8 garlic cloves
-2 tablespoons salt
-5 lemons(5 is way to much to me I use 2 or 3, any more and all you can taset is the lemon)
-1 shot of tequila(dosent really make a differance with or w/o)
Preparation Instructions
Grind the annato seeds, cumin seeds, whole peppercorns, whole cloves, and whole allspice in a mortar and pestle, molcajete y tejolote, spice grinder or coffe grinder.
Blend the cleaned and chopped habanero peppers with the orange juice, vinegar, garlic and salt.
Mix the dry spices with the liquid.
Add the juice of 5 lemons and a nice splash of tequila.
Place the cubed pork butt in a large zip lock bag and add the marinade. Soak 4-6 hours, in refrigerator, turning several times.
Line (8x13) baking pan with foil. Pour in pork along with the marinade. Cover and seal the pan with foil. Bake in a 325 F degree oven for 4 hours.
I normaly serve this with about 6-8 servings of rice b/c thats about how much you get from the pork. This stuff is supper good I try to make it every 2-3 weeks. Made some last weekend as a matter of fact.

I’d have to kill myself if i had to eat like that every day, but thats why I chose powerlifting over bodybuilding. But I dont eat like a fatty either.
sweet potato’s man. If your really worried about the carbs start by having one after a workout along with w/e protein you want. Just do a search for sweet potato recipes and youll get all kinds of good stuff. And then there are all so fruits and such, I could eat a whole bag of oranges a day.
on my way after the gym to grab some sweet potatos!
Im wondering about stuff like cheese or whole wheat torillas and such, adding brown rice to a meal for dinner. How do I go about that and how much?
Im so stuck on the low carb that I’m nervous to add any back
keep the ideas coming, really looking to get some dinner ideas going, sick of the same chicken breast and brocooli and red peppers or ground beef and same veggys.
Whats your dinner plates looking like tonight?

Tuna from a can?[/quote]
Yep, Just drain it, chuck it in a bowl, slice some avocado into it and mash it up with a fork. I often just eat it like that straight away, although it’s also good when mixed with finely chopped peppers, red lentils, some broccoli chopped up pretty small and a birds-eye chilli. Bada-Bing - Surprisingly good stuff.

Hey I tried just the avocado and tuna…it was awesome. I was just wondering how often you eat this meal. I usually average about 14-18 cans of tuna a week. Is the avocado always a subsitute for mayonnaise?

The first is a link to colombian mazamorra. It is a VERY EASY and cheap dish to make (in stores like 2 dollars per box). Box comes with corn kernels, corn flour, and baking soda. Follow the instructions. It will make you a huge pot (probably like 10-14 heaping ceral bowls full) of the cereal. The whole box has approximately 1,000 cals. Although not a great source of protein it is an excellent change of pace from oatmeal and stuff like that. Can be served with or without milk. Good with brown sugar. Carb content is not that high. It is a love ro hate kind fo thing and you can try it at any local Colombian restauraunt for like 2 bucks if you dont wanna make it yourself before ever trying it.
ButterNut Squash —> tastes better than sweet potato. Just cut open and nuke then proceed to mash witha a fork. Has much less carb that sweet potato.
Natty Peanut Butter —> nuke it → add sugar free preserves —> have a tall glass of milk with it and love life.
Pork Chops —> a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary to taste. Easy to make and easy not to mess up since it doesnt dry up like chicken or steak as quickly.
cold black bean salad —> grab a can of black beans and empty it out, add chopped schallion, onion, tomatoe, cilantro, and some canned corn (put in toaster for a bit for a better roasted corn taste if you please) then add some franks red hot and lime juice. Mix and eat. Great on side of anything or even as a emal within itself.

Mash banana until almost liquid. It won’t taste like a banana. It’ll taste like an exotic pudding. You can add fruit. I got that idea from Jack Lalane. I grill chicken breasts and big sausage links then fry some onions in butter or coconut oil and mix all 3. I have meals for a week. If you don’t want sausage you can put smashed pinto beans (refried beans) and hunks of cheese on top and heat. I don’t like to cook.

Chili?
My recipe is as follows
Lean ground beef
Turkey sausage
Large onion
large green and red pepper
mushrooms
Can of black beans
Two cans of diced tomatoes
Spices (crushed red pepper, garlic powder, paprika)
Basically, ur just gonna start by browning the beef with onions and spices. Then its just a matter of cutting things up and adding them to the pot, though you’ll want to add the diced tomatoes first (drain them first). Add spices to taste, and depending on how much sausage and beef you use, you can vary the protein intake per serving. Its pretty simple to make, and u can add some cheese to increase the calories and deliciousness as you can make each serving pretty calorie lean.
