EATING ON VACATION

My boyfriend and I went to Niagara Falls, Canada last week and stayed in a hotel that does not have a kitchen or a fridge so we could not prepare out own meals. Plus, we were out walking/sightseeing all day every day. Besides the fact the food is ridculously expensive everywhere you turn, the food is all fast-foodish, high calorie crap. Luckily the hotel had free wi-fi so l looked up my meals and logged them everyday.

Anyway, due to time restrictions and the refusal to spend $22 a day on breakfast, my eating habits were not normal. I did not have 3 meals at adequate times with my normal snacks but despite that, out of the 4 days on vaca, I only went over my calories one day by 350 ( and thats because I chose to eat breakfast that day. I normally eat breakfast every day at home).

We were literally walking for hours a day, calorie intake was normal except for the one day, yet instead of losing weight or maintaining weight I gained one pound. Now I know this is not the end of the world it is just frustrating. I tried very hard to be within my daily limits but here is the question.... Despite normal body fluctuations, could this be because the food I was eating was crap? Steakhouses, Italian Restaurant, Pizza, etc..? and FYI--- Niagra Falls, Canada must have a bias against vegetables because not one restaurant we went to offered green veggies except for the Italian place that offered salad before the main course. Eveything was fries, pasta of some sort, bread, and some other form of carbs. The last day there I asked for some form of veggies to be added to my meal and they found me some frozen broccoli.
