I've been doing CICO for about a month now with good results, but I'm really nervous that the two business trips I'm taking next month will derail me. Any advice?

Hey all. I started up doing CICO again about a month ago, eating between 1200-1300 a day and things are going great.

However, next month I have two separate business trips that are each a week long. I'm extremely nervous about how I'm going to calorie count while traveling.

I will be staying at a string of different accomodations, only one of which has a full kitchen. I do plan to cook the two days I'm staying there, but I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do the other 12 days. Most of the places have at least a mini fridge, though.

I do plan to bring along some protein bars and hopefully buy some low cal snacks I can carry around with me once I fly in (I'm thinking fruits, string cheeses, maybe some grab and go salads.) I can also eat at fast food places that at least have a calorie count available for me so I can make smart decisions.

However, it is inevitable that I will have to meet with various clients for dinner at restaurants without posted nutrition information. I will eliminate any alcohol or appetizer snacking, but I'm wondering what kind of main course decisions to make? Salads and fish or chicken/vegetable entrees, I'm thinking, but how do I estimate my calories for those? Is that possible or will I just have to accept I can't know for sure and try to limit myself?

Thanks in advance for any answers. I'm super nervous about this but I don't want it to get in the way of having a good time.
