Weight Gain

[England2008]

Can anyone tell me why I gained 4lbs overnight. Yesterday I hiked for a half day, and I've heard its probably water. I really don't understand why you would gain weight when you work out.

Your muscles could be holding onto water. I don't pay much attention to it. Unless you were stuffing your face allll day long...then its impossible, even then, I think it would be hard to consume that many cals. Give yourself a couple of days and the scale should return to normal.

In order to gain 4 pounds overnight, you would have literally had to eat over 7,000 calories yesterday, I mean c'mon, right? One pound equals 3,500 calories. Chock it up to water weight and move on.
