nutrition on a forced layoff.................

[barbells79]

hey bros
just wondering how some of you guys would eat on a forced layoff or on just a self imposed one. im going to the sunshine state for a little r and r in september and dont have a workout facility at hand, so do i : a) take my protein and supps along for the vacation, and take em even though im not liftin? or:b) just scrap everything for the 2 weeks im on r and r?.
any help or input is appreciated,

When I go out of town I always take my protein supps, but I usally dont take as much as I would be if I was at the gym everyday.

I would take them. also I like to do pushups, situps, run, chinups, ect.

i definitely plan on doing some type of exercise while away from the gym, but i didnt know if all the protein and supps were necessary for just that amount of exercise, thanks for the help.

yea u need the extra protein to help retain your muscle mass.

I would eat as clean as possible and aim for maintenance calories or thereabouts (apart from the first few days out of the gym). I'm paranoid about getting too fat though. I agree with Stiff that you need the extra protein.
