To burn it off
Pozole is a soup of pork and hominy, big corn kernels treated with lime until they puff up. It comes rojo with dried red chiles, verde with tomatillos and green chiles, or blanco with no chile at all.
A bowl is 400 kcal, with 30 g of protein, 35 g of carbs and 15 g of fat. That's a lot of protein for a soup, and the hominy fills you up.
It comes with shredded cabbage or lettuce, radish, onion, oregano and lime, which add next to nothing. Tostadas with cream on the side add more, so count those.
Tips
- 1Load up on the cabbage, radish and lime, they're nearly free.
- 2Let the pot cool and lift the fat off the top before reheating.
- 3Have one tostada with it, not a stack.
