[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1095034, member: 88961"] That sort of "weight gain" is rarely fat or muscle gain. More often than not it's the impact of the additional food meandering through our systems, and where some foods are concerned, like carbs, they hold additional water on their way through as an aid to their digestion. Obviously that's an incredibly simplistic explanation, but it's pretty right. Clearly, if any of us has a mega blow-out, whereby we over indulge, in calories, protein carbs or whatever we each find to be our trigger foods, then the display on the scales won't necessarily settle back to the pre-blow-out position, but it would usually drop back a bit. To be honest, this is where weighing each day for a while can be useful. My weight is very stable, but if I do have carb heavier foods and maybe drink a bit less for a few days - say, when travelling, or whatever - the scales will suggest weight gain, but it isn't a true reflection.
