Headed to New Orleans for 5 days next week. While I am very excited and I know we will be doing a lot of walking around etc, I know we will be doing a lot of eating! We have many dinner and brunch reservations.

How do you guys deal with this? I definitely want to enjoy what the city has to offer but I don't want to gain 10 lbs in the process!

Don't overeat. Being a foodie, or trying a lot of dishes doens't mean you have to overeat. Eat reasonable portions and enjoy them.

I think the person who said to avoid having the tasting menu has never done it. It's not low cal at all, and is one of the best experiences I have had at high end restaurants. It's also not cheap.

I just ate and drank my way through New Orleans and I am proud! Granted I was down there to run a marathon but I would have done the same thing if I had only been there on vacation. New Orleans has some of the best food in the country (in my opinion) and there was no way I was going there an eating salads. HAAA You walk a lot so that is helpful. Just enjoy and stay off the scale for the next week you get home. Get back on track with logging the food and exercise when you return home.

Enjoy New Orleans...this makes me want to hop a plane and go back. It really is one of my most favorite cities.

Back from my trip. We did so much walking and I indulged but only with the foods I cannot get back home. I think I gained a few lbs but definitely not as bad as what could have been. Thanks for all your advice and tips everyone!
