I am going away on a business trip for two weeks with a break in the middle, and I do not know how to get my meals or my lifts in. bodybuilding

I'm in desperate need of help, I have to leave this Sunday 8/16 to go on the first business trip till Saturday 8/22. The hotel is a Holiday Inn. There is some type of corporate meal budget, but that has not been emailed yet. I come home that Saturday and leave the next morning Sunday 8-22 till Saturday 8-29. The secound hotel is not yet known and the distance is double the first trip location is.

This is my first business trip in general let alone back to back trips. I need help with meal ideas for those weeks considering I will only have a small refrigerator and more than likely a microwave and usually eat 4-5 meals a day but I prep every other day to cut down on waste and make breakfast and dinner at home.

I doubt I will have a gym at the hotel and don't know how I will get my lifts in. I work out 6 times a week doing a 5x5 one day and a 10x10 the next with some cardio in terms of boxing/Judo.

I don't really know what to do. I can skip the workouts and I know I won't loose all my gainz, but I want to get something in as well as not gain 10 pounds eating junk.

Any help is appreciated!

Looking for Advice on What I'm Doing bodybuilding

My goal is to build muscle and cut body fat in preparation for the Police Academy while finishing up my last semester of college. I weigh 171lbs, height is 5'11, waist circumference is 31 inches, wrist circumference is 6 inches, hip circumference is 35 inches, forearm circumference is 10 inches and body fat percentage is 12% Body Fat index site: http://ift.tt/1zsnmBC

My planned diet consists of eating 8 servings of natural JIF peanut butter and two cans of Starkist tuna chunk light in water each day = 1700 calories, 106g protein and 1060g of fat (mostly from peanut butter). I don’t have a refrigerator, oven or microwave and not financially stable to purchase all the nutrients needed however I use the one a day multivitamin for men.

I plan to work out every three days with one day of rest in between. Day 1 is chest/triceps, Day 2 is legs/shoulders and Day 3 is Back/Biceps. Earlier this week I started this routine just to test the weights and how comfortable I am doing the exercises. 3 sets per exercise along with 12-10-8 reps adding 10lbs per set.

Day 1: Incline, Decline, & Flat Bench Press, Overhead Triceps Extension standing and Dumbbell Triceps Press

Day 2: Calf Raises w/ Dumbbells, Seated Leg Curl, Leg Press, Shoulder Press Dumbbell, Lateral Raise Standing

Day 3: Dumbbell Shrug, Barbell Row, Bicep Curls, Hammer Curls, Dumbbell Deadlift, Dumbbell Bent-Over Row One of my problems is finding the appropriate weight to lift without consistently asking for a spot and how long I should rest in between sets. My questions are: How do I find a manageable weight without consistently asking for a spot and make the muscle feel like its been worked or I feel as if its been worked? How long should I rest in between sets? Heard and read from some people its 30 seconds but from my physical conditioning instructor its either 2 minutes or however long you need to complete set. Is drinking water bad in between sets? And what does drinking water necessarily do while working out? Does it matter how much weight I use for dumbbell calf raises and shrugs? Every time I do these exercises I feel like I don’t accomplish anything. Does that mean I should go heavier? The academy begins in January. Any and all help/advice/suggestions/tips, etc. is appreciated. Hopefully I can turn this into a hobby one day and start bodybuilding. Always been my dream but I lacked the resources growing up and the motivation.

Skeleton budget body building. bodybuilding

I'm wondering how I could go about getting in better shape on a next to nothing budget. I'm barely scraping by at the moment, and my living conditions arent....great. I would basically need to find a way to eat in such a way that would be good for gaining muscle, and maybe even shaving some pounds, but my dilemma is that my food options are basically limited to non perishables (cans, bags, and boxes). Even the use of a refrigerator is pretty much not an option for me right now. Also this would need to happen for as little money as possible. I know I should be eating as fresh as possible, and staying away from artificial crap, but my budget/living conditions simply don't allow for that :/ Is there a way this can be done? What would be some acceptable food choices within these confines? I'm sure I'll be able to find a more appropriate diet for my goals later, but what about right now? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How long can you leave mixed protein in the refrigerator before it goes bad? bodybuilding

Trying to simplify my morning. If I mix 7 servings for the week and just pour out 1 every morning for breakfast, will the protein be ok?

Whats the cutoff?

(mixing with water or milk btw)

What's a good plan for my current living situation? bodybuilding

I have been taking accutane and decided since iylt was making my joints and back stiff/sore, I should not lift while I was on it. I am coming down to the end of my treatment soon so I will be able to start lifting once more.

When I stopped my lifts were pretty low after 3 months because I was doing the All Pro beginner program. Do you recommend that I do a strength program to start out with?

Also I get around $300 a month for food. I figured this would be enough money but the problem is that there are 6 people in my apartment and only 1 refrigerator. I have a mini fridge also but it makes buying in bolk pretty hard. I could maybe but egg whites in cartons and also eggs and put them in my mini fridge but besides that, we are very limited on space. We have a pantry but that I also a mess and cluttered. I could maybe fit a gallon of milk in my mini also but im not sure. What are some foods that would be good to buy that are quick to make and would take up little space? I have a George Foreman grill and a crock pot also along with out stove and microwave. I also want to leave some money for buying protein and stuff.
