It's my spring break this coming week, and Sunday morning myself and a couple friends are going to Cooperstown to see the baseball hall of fame. I'll be gone from Sunday to Tuesday, so that's three days of no workouts or eating what I'm supposed to.

What are some places/things to order so I won't screw up things too much? Would Subway be good? Just order chicken or lowfat meals at restaurants? I don't know how much I'll be able to take with me in terms of snacks, so what can I do?

Also I'm sure one night I'll be drinking beer, which is not good, but I'm a college student and haven't drank since the beginning of January so I think I deserve one night.. hehe.

Basically where can I eat and what can I get so I don't shoot things all to hell?

Thanks a bunch.

i go through the same thing once in a while for work.

i usually eat at subways or grab a big salad at wendy's.
and i continue my works out(sit-ups, pushups) and i bring a 35lbs dumbel with me, and workout in the hotel.

most places will allow you to customize an order a bit. at subway, you can hold the mayo and oil and cheese. a lot of fast food places have grilled items or salads, like mcD, burger king. taco bell has an al fresco menu now that replaces the cheese w/ fresh salsa. if you dine at a restaurant, you can ask for sauces on the side, ask for your meat to be grilled..etc.

Three days isnt gonna do too much damage unless you go crazy. It would probably be good to have a break because when you get back in it youll have heaps of motivation.

Just dont eat to little. Sometimes when I cant get access to the kinds of healthy foods I want I end up eating way too little because I sorta think I'd rather not eat than have this pizza. So even if the food isnt that healthy eat it anyway because eating too little will probably do more damage than eating too much.

Enjoy yhr three days off :tu:
