why can a person’s weight change +/- 5-10 pounds a day when they definitely aren’t eating 5-10 pounds of food/water a day. Where does this extra mass/wight come from?
In: 15
People can only gain as much as they intake. Drink 8 glasses of water in a day (no need to), that’s 4 pounds you’ve gained until you pee, sweat, and breath it out. If a person appears to gain weight without eating or drinking, it’s an issue with the scale.
People’s weight varies each day depending on their inputs, outputs, and retention (you do hold on to some, even incorporate some into storage in the body).
