Bought a seasoned/marinated pork roast for $8 and cooked on low for 8 hours in the slow cooker. Then cooked a $2 bag of steamed cauliflower rice in the microwave. Served a scoop of rice, slathered in juices, topped with the pork.

These are the meals that keep you on keto. Very nice.

This setup is solid for macro tracking because slow cooker pork loses minimal fat, so your protein-to-calorie ratio stays clean. One thing that helped me: cook the cauliflower rice separately then toss it in a pan with a tablespoon of butter for 2 minutes before serving, absorbs the pork juices way better than steaming it solo. Did you track the collagen macros from the broth or just count the visible meat and rice?

This ratio works perfectly for meal prep. Cook the pork once, portion into containers, then rotate vegetables weekly (asparagus, radishes, peas all work). The rendered fat from the roast is your cooking medium for those veggies, so you’re not adding extra oil. Just note that pre-seasoned roasts often have 2-4g added sugar per serving, so factor that into your daily carbs.
