Possible to put on 2KG-3KG after one meal?

[Anonymous]

I've been cutting my weight lately, and I lost about 3KG in a week, by accident, as I wasn't eating, but I looked better so I kept my diet up and it was working. I ended up having a small breakfast, but in school the dinner was absoulutely disgusting so I never bothered, so I didn't eat until about 6:30PM, I had pancakes with lemon juice and a bit of brown sugar, I knew it wern't healthy but I was hungry, I got on the scales and put on 3KG heavier! but just after I'd eaten.

I was pretty bloated and still am, plus pancakes have a heavy carb count and sodium so it could be something to do with that? But still, 3KG!?

3kg is nothing. So many little things that can affect weight.

If you've just eaten- well that food is inside of you. Its not part of you, its not your real weight, but the scales don't know the difference.

Have you ever heard the expression "I just shat a stone"- a stone is an exageration but it is quite literal. Weigh yourself after you've been to the loo and you're lighter.

I don't know about you but sometimes I notice that my trousers fit perfectly fine when I put them on in the morning but by the afternoon they're falling down. Even if you don't think you're particularly gassy you do lose a fair bit of weight that way as the day goes on.

To anyone who is wanting to get in shape I have to strongly discourage constantly keeping track of your weight. Your weight says very little about your health, how you look, etc... and its so so variable.

Yea, it's possible, because of the way your body regulates water, and the meal together, but it's not something to worry about, your body is pretty strange with that.

It hapens to everyone, what matters is your average weight ;).

Its not something I would worry about.

1) your weight fluctuates all throughout the day based on hormones, water, etc.

2) Your food still has the same weight even just after you have eaten it. So If you eat a pound of food, and weight yoruself, you will be a pound heavier than you were before you ate it.

I would try and eat more though. The way you are eating isn't really going to work long term.

no big deal

your weight shifts throughout the day

my morning weight is 163 and by night I'm usuallly 168-170 range

its cause the amount of water that goes back into your system after 8 hours and the food you are taking in

My weight shifts +or- 4 kilograms throughout the day. try weighing yourself less because fluctuation is normal. also weight lost because you're simply not eating is easily regained.

No. You burn a lot of calories throught the day. Usually a big meal is negated unless you make it several.
