The “Low Carb” and “Low Fat Days” On The Regular Diet Are Not Used While Staying At Hotels & Inns Or On A Party Day; Instead the following more lenient “Low Carb” and “Low Fat” Days are Used:

While traveling, it is very hard to avoid eating at a restaurant at least once each day. To accommodate for this reality, what you'll do is “save” some extra calories to either be able to go out to a restaurant once each day or to go to a party. You won't use the Low Carb Days or Low Fat Days discussed in the main section of the diet while staying at hotels/inns.

The other time to use this diet is on days that you plan to go to a party where food will be served. You want to be able to eat a fairly large amount of food at the party without having to worry about calories. The party host will be a lot happier if they see you eating and not whining about how you have to be watching your weight. So in addition to this being a “hotel & inn travel” diet it is also a “party day” diet.

To make it easier on you while at the hotel's restaurant or at the party, you can have whatever you want, as far as food (carbs, protein and fat) is concerned, except don't eat all of only one type (for example, don't eat just carbs) and to not eat until you get really full, but just fairly full.

Again, you are allowed to eat whatever you want for the restaurant meal (or party meal). As for your other 5 meals, one of these will probably be leftovers from the restaurant, as mentioned above. The other 4 meals don't have to each be the following percentages, but the four meals added together need to total being 50% protein (+/- 5%) , 30% fat (+/- 5%) and 20% carbohydrates (+/- 5%) on “low carb” days, so you'll eat mostly lean protein and low glycemic index (GI) carbohydrate vegetables (the “free” vegetables that are 10 or less on the GI scale that you can eat unlimited amounts of, see Law #11). Each snack can only be about 1/10 BMR or 205 calories. A good choice for protein is simply whey protein powder, isolated soy protein powder, unskinned chicken or turkey breast, fish, roast beef, egg whites or cottage cheese. On “low fat” days, the remaining 4 meals need to total being 50% carbohydrates (+/- 5%), 30% protein (+/- 5%) and 20% fat (+/- 5%). On the cheat day, your only concern is to make sure you get at least 153.75 grams of protein (1 gram per pound of fat free body mass).
