Why can't you move your car for 3 days? Is it broken?0

Well yeah. She's a lost cause. I was just hoping the car still worked so she wouldn't be stuck in the food desert of Boston for any longer than she had to be.1 -
Egg 'product' and low protein yogurt. I love eggs but that was nasty and I typically don't waste calories on regular fruit yogurt. But maybe it will be enough if I'm not starving tomorrow.
how is 100 calorie yogurt a "waste of calories"?????0 -

I recently stayed at a hotel in New Hampshire (Memorial weekend) and yeah, they have a continental breakfast.
Eggs, Sausage etc were kind of lame. But they also had Muffins, Cereal, Oatmeal, Yogurt and waffles (make your own obviously) Fruit, Bagels and Danishes. I'm guessing your hotel is pretty much the same.
Seriously, I just ate whatever. I'm pretty sure I ate a yogurt, danish and muffin for breakfast the one day and the other day I had a waffle and the eggs & sausage. It is what it is. Just log it and move on. I really wouldn't worry about macros on vacation and as for calories, relax a bit and just be mindful.0 -

I'm pretty sure you're lying. All they have in Boston is sugar laden yogurt and toxic French fries. I read it in the Internet.0 -
I could go on vacation and make a breakfast from a Wawa... and I'm a vegetarian with celiac disease. Yogurt, fruit, cheese, hard boiled eggs, coffee. That's a convenience store. I bet I could even get a pack of nuts or sunflower seeds too.0

I have a daughter who is a picky eater, as well. She frequently doesn't like anything prepared for dinner, even the things she liked in the past. And by "the past" I mean the previous day. PB&J is our fallback food; the one thing she will eat consistently. Not the healthiest option but she will go hungry rather than eat something she doesn't like. Do you have a fallback food that you could request at restaurants, so you could go to a restaurant YOU like instead of one that isn't going to make her happy, regardless? Or, pack some of her foods in your bag for her, like granola bars, so she something to snack on?
Or, better yet, leave the kids with grandma on your next vacation. When we vacation, which are usually day vacations since we have a farm and can't leave the animals for long, we either plan a "kid" vacation that we aren't super excited about but the kids are (so no disappointment on our end since we went into it knowing what to expect), or we plan an "adult" vacation and leave the kids home.0 -

Also being a Bostonian if she is in town I get why she cant move her car for three days if she is IN CITY she wont want to move her car, you ever drove through down town Boston on a work day? It is MADDENING! Not like New York, NY is grid style lay out, Boston is just a messy lay out with over a million people in the city durring working hours. Hard to manuveur, better to stay on foot, or take the T.
yea, forget driving around boston is you are not from town … I would say take the T or use Uber…also there is awesome seafood restaurants, italian places in the north end, steakhouses, etc, etc…but I guess OP does not want to waste calories on all that….0 -

It just turns into a food desert when you have kids.
Without kids, it's totally fine.0 -
