How can you tell the difference between day and the water weight (that is gained)

Im 5'4 135 pounds right now

I was 130-143 before but I randomly gained weight and I eat like I normally would and work out

But I haven't been able to use the bathroom except pee

Is it water weight

[Anonymous]

There are bathroom scales that tell you what proportion of your body mass is water, fat and everything else. You have to enter your age, height and sex and they measure your conductivity to figure it out.

They're not that accurate though.

But accurate enough. You don't need to know the numbers to the gram, but it's useful to have a general idea. If you suddenly gain 10 lb and the scale tells you it's mostly water, that's all you need to know. Likewise, if you begin to work out and lose weight but the scale says is mostly water, then you know you're doing something wrong. They're not perfectly accurate but they are accurate enough for the task.

it could be poo weight. I'm between 150-157 and I try to weigh my self after I poo but before I eat breakfast to get my lowest number for the day. it's normal for weight to go up and down even in one day
