Job hinders meals?

Here's my scenario. Just got back from a tiny town in Northern Quebec (Was there from Wednesday - Sunday) Town has 1 greasy spoon cafe - 1 gas station, small grocery market ... The grocery mart was never open when i was in the town (was in the woods from 730 am until 230 am ... had to drive almost 50 KM in the woods just to get to where we worked

I ate over this weekend

1 Poutine
1 Individual Pizza
1 egg bacon sausage breakfast
2 smokies (bbq - that's all we had in the woods)
1 egg bacon, pancake breakfast
hot chicken sandwhich (Didn't know it would have a cup of Gravy on top of it!)
1 hamburger (bbq)

See with my work, when I travel, I'm in remote 'towns' villages and mostly in the woods (The closest town was 45 KM's away)
My flight was late, so the guys did grocery shopping, ALL They bought was hamburgers and hot dogs for BBQ - Chips. Cookies, pop ... not a single fruit or veggie ...

The greecy spoon cafe only had unhealthy options. ugh I feel sick ... three lbs in 4 days ... and I was starving most of hte time, cuz I could only eat two hot dogs 1 day ... and that's all I ate ... cuz I hate chips and cookies (I actually don't like them) and had coffee and water ...

Anyone else have trouble when traveling? I know most hotels have gyms, we stayed in a 40 $ a night motel (portables) I shared a room with three men, and the room looked like something out of a horror film. I thought I was going to get murdered ....

I feel sick!

Also should note a few things...

1) I bought a 14$ salad at the airport I was so hurting for a veggie! brown lettuce and all, just ate it!
2) I was out of breath walking up the two flights of stairs when I got home

It's crazy how four days of inactivity (unless you consider servicing a rally car active) can do the damage on your body and lungs! on a plus note, it was only -22 degrees! haha

Oh man, that is brutal! I would give those guys a list of stuff they need to include the next time they have to do the shopping! Maybe you should have woken them all up at 4am with a rousing workout routine and told them to join in. Maybe next time they'd get you your own room! LOL

Next time, pack some energy bars or something in your suitcase/carry on so you have something "semi" decent to eat if you get in a bind. I'm not even sure what else to suggest here. Good luck! Hope you can get cleaned out soon.

Well don't worry about the weight you gained, it's most likely just water retention from all the sodium!
