How come i gain weight if i take a break from exercising?

Calorie excess!: When you stop exercising, you stop expending calories, or energy used when exercising. If you eat your normal diet that you ingest while exercising, you now are running a caloric excess. In short, cut back on eating, when you are not exercising!
