[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 666902, member: 22572"] I don't think you need to worry so much. The main thing is to know what food to avoid/severely restrict and that is the main carbs sources: bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, sweets and fruit juices. I treat fruit as a special category, although high in sugar, I will have these in moderation, if I have tested and I know my levels are good or if I know that I am about to exercise. Then you are left with a choice of main protein, in my case I will rotate beef, pork, chicken, fish or pulses with a combination of a salad ( so many to chose from green, coleslaw, Greek, Cesar's etc) and or vegetables ( again lots of choices broccoli, cauliflower, courgettes, aubergines, to name but a few). You can also play around with spices/dressings as well to add variety though I tend to go for a simple olive oil and lemon dressing most of the time. The main thing is to test regularly. That way, even if you get things wrong, you will only have got it wrong for one meal. You can take corrective action with your choice of your next meal or you can go for a bid of extra exercise. Holiday's are easy in my opinion as we have more time in our hands, do lots of walking anyway and are under less pressure. Please relax and enjoy your trip. I am sure you will be fine.
