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

759 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?

A gallon of water weighs ~8 lbs. The food you eat might be 1-4 lbs, depending. Your clothes might weigh 1-6 lbs. There’s a lot of margin of error.
