Did you track? If you went over maintenance then sure, you might gain.

Probably.

Yup

Most likely... or maybe not. Time will tell.

In 4 days, probably not much of a gain. Main question, did you enjoy yourself? If so, no biggie, just get back to normal.

I did but but not all

Did you go to Levain bakery and eat their cookies? If not, you have to go back and do your trip again.

I always think the only real answer to these threads is "I don't know - will you?" only the OP was there, only she knows how much she ate and how much she walked, how on earth will we have a better idea if she will gain than she does?

ETA: I generally take a bit of a gain as a well worth it payment for a good trip and delicious food. So it takes me an extra week to get to goal - life's there to be lived!

I will never understand the reasoning behind people not tracking everything and then wondering if they will gain.. If you had tracked it you would of known how much over maintenance you were and what that would be in terms of gain and how to correctly correct it if needed. Even during my binge eating disorder relapse for 6 months i tracked every single day and every piece of food i ate.. i knew i was gaining, i knew how much i gained and when i restarted back in a deficit after being medicated i knew what was water loss and where to put my weight back to again.

I don't track when I go away. But I also accept whatever consequences come from that and it's the only time I don't track. As soon as I get back I start tracking again and do damage assessment after a week. But this is not stressful to me. If I thought taking a break or seeing a gain would make me throw a wobbly then I'd do my best to track. But it doesn't, so I just enjoy my holiday.

Probably a lot of water retention from the sodium, I'd wait 5 days before weighing

U could have gone over your calories everyday and not gained any weight or you could have been under your calories and had a lot of sodium and gained weight cause you retained water. 4 days of over eating won't put on enough fat to be measurable

Were you on vacation? If so, who cares whether you put on a smidgen of weight? The point is to relax and have a blast. If you did that, mission accomplished. MFP will still be there when you're done.

I'm going to Japan in May. At that point my logging streak will end, and I won't care about my intake for a couple of weeks. Not only will I be in maintenance then -- I allow myself to eat maintenance on weekends now, if I feel like it -- and not only will I not even be able to spell most of what I'll be eating let alone log it, but I'll be there to have fun and to see and do interesting things. If I need to lose weight again afterward, I can do that at home.
