Depending on what kind of hotel you're staying in, you may be able to request a fridge by asking at the desk (some 3 stars, most 4 stars and up). I'd call and ask before you get there since they take a little time to cool down.
When eating out at restaurants, don't be afraid to order ala carte, modify dishes, or order things with dressing or sauce on the side. Most restaurants are used to people with special dietary requirements. Sometimes the only solution is to just order a standard meal and only eat half. Without a fridge, it feels like you're wasting food... but try to ignore that inner voice of your mother telling you to finish your plate. Sacrifices sometimes need to be made to help the pounds come off.
If you know in advance that you will be eating at a chain restaurant, check online to see if there is nutrition information posted somewhere on the net.
It can be really hard to plan when you're traveling. Try your best and don't beat yourself up too much if you show a small gain. Good luck!

I did request a fridge and got one for my stay which helped me out a lot.
Good luck!
I don't arrive until tomorrow night so I think I will ask again - who knows, it is a 5 star hotel so it kind of surprises me that their isn't at least a mini-bar that I could empty and put in my stuff.
