    traveling...need some thoughts

    On December 26th through January 1st I'll be traveling to Italy for vacation. If you know me, you know how dedicated I've been to my cutting process, and have shown pretty good process. We all know that Italy is a very carb oriented country, and I don't want to throw away all of my progress. I will be doing a lot of walking while I am there. I'm going to try to continue my IF protocol and not eat anything till about 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Our plan is to just buy a few snacks from local grocery stores and then have one good meal at the end of the day. I'm going to pack my BCAA's and every morning make a shaker bottle with about 50-60 grams of BCAA's and sip on that throughout the day to try and prevent muscle loss, because I'm sure my protein intake is going to be fairly low. I was even contemplating to not work out a few to couple days before I leave to ensure that my muscles are repaired and only have to worry about maintenance. Any thoughts on how I should approach this to minimize any loss/gains? I'd even be open to a good recipe that is solid and would stay good for about a week, like protein cookies or something like that. Any help would be appreciated.

    7 days isn't a long time.. even if you put on a couple kg's of fat in that time it'll only take a few weeks to get back to where you were.. id just enjoy it and eat lots of pizza/pasta but thats just me..

    You won't loose muscle in 7 days. Go to Italy and enjoy the local cuisine. He'll it's Italy. There portion sizes r smaller so should be no biggies. Whatever little weight you gain will be gone a week later. Vacations r to take a break from your life. Enjoy it and come back ready to pic back up again

    Where in Italy are you going? It's not all pasta and pizza. That's just all we Americans see. A lot of fish, pork and fresh veggie dishes that'll keep you right.
