Going to Cuba Tommorrow for a week - Can not wait to try and figure out how and what to eat over there! - Did pack the powder and a few shakes and bars but this is going to be one hell of a adventure, I wonder if they have a whole foods over there

Have fun!

Condoms..lots and lots of them.

Pretty sure they love carbs and bread and wraps and stuff so be careful

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.

Im sure the food is no more unhealthy than in other countries such as the USA!

Enjoy! Please tell us all about the food and adventures?

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.

no Whole Foods. 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..

Ropa Viejo there was great ! 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 !

That's why I planned my trip as soon as we were able to go, I knew somehow that moron would "F" it up for everyone. The country and the people there are beautiful I hope to go back when you know who is where he belongs wearing an orange jumpsuit to match his face

Could not agree more! I'm still working on a way in, likely through missions work. I don't feel right lying about my reasons for getting in.
