    Eat maintenance so that you can enjoy it and don't feel deprived while also not sabotaging yourself and creating more work. That's what I do :)

    I never count cals when I am on holiday. Maybe that is why I never quite reach my goal weight, lol. Holidays are about switching off and destressing for me - so if I spend that whole time stressing about calories, I figure I might as well save my money & stay at home.

    I have started doing a lot more walking and hiking this year though, so my plan on holiday will be to pack my trainers and go for a few good walks while I am away. I wouldn't usually even pack trainers, so might even visit the hotel gym or have a swim.

    I would rather increase activity, than have to restrict food when traveling abroad. I love cooking & for me, experiencing food from other countries is a big part of my holiday.

    HAHAHA yes alcohol generally is my downfall, I think I can manage clean eating to some degree but portion control especially abroad is crazy

    I think you have the right idea, as long as I manage a workout even if it 30 mins a day I may be able to save myself. Holidays have really ruined my work in the past.
