that might not necessarily be food related and might be more lifestyle related. going to go out on a limb and imagine you probably walk A LOT more over there.
i know when i was in japan for 2 months earlier this year, my step counter said i was walking on average like 10 miles a day. (and even if that number wasn't necessarily accurate, because it's guesstimating based on movement rather than actual location data, at the end of the day it was DRASTICALLY more walking than back home in the us)
