what is happening when a person’s weight fluctuates multiple lbs day to day?

760 views

I have been eating at a calorie deficit for a few months with successful weight loss, but I’ll have random weeks where it is very inconsistent day to day. Past three days I see very small or no changes to weight, sometimes even increase. Then this morning I am 4 lbs lighter than I was yesterday. If anything I ate MORE than usual yesterday, and I don’t think I used the bathroom more than normal nor was I exceptionally sweaty. Where did those 4 lbs go?

In addition to what the others said, imaging eating a bag of chips or salt sticks on your cheat day.

All that salt will cause your body to retain several pounds of water.

For me, this normally disappears after two to three days.
