Maintenance Vacation

I am going on a business trip next week and kind of just want to enjoy eating out with the company money. I plan on working out everyday but I just want to enjoy eating what I want. Has anyone else done this. How long did it take your weight to recover

    I think I could call my 2 x cruise vacations a year a maintenance vacation - I pretty much eat around 500 cals a day above my TDEE so when I get back it takes me around one month to get back to goal my weight range. (I just go back to my normal eating and exercising).

    Epic fail. Got back and have gained 10 ponds in one week!

    You didn't gain 10 bs of fat unless you ate 35000 calories over maintenance. Did you? If not, most of that is just water weight that will flush out in a few days to a couple of weeks.

    Air travel and stress can cause water retention. You didn't gain 10 pounds of fat.

    You'll be fine, give it a week of staying in calories and report back. :flowerforyou:
