    !9 years old and maintaining at 1300 calories??? You should be eating twice that amount for maintaining, depending on exercises. Also more then likely it was water weight gain.

    OP read this: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

    She's closer to 2k calories with her exercise calories.

    OP, I "gain" the same amount if I don't have a good poo the day before. Or my period is coming. Or I had a lot of salt. 2.2 pounds is nothing to worry over. Give it another week or so. If it sticks around, reevaluate your intake. My guess is it'll disappear on its own.

    Alright! I shall give it another week and hope that it'll go away! Thanks for the help!

    Maybe I'm just gonna accept the fact that I can only eat 1300+fitbit calories. I'm dropping back to 1300 :neutral_face:
    Thanks for all the help!

    Do you weigh all solid foods and measure liquids??

    Are you accurate about your food diary??

    If not that could be the culprit.

    I'm using a digital food scale to weight my food so I guess it's pretty accurate.
    I weigh everything even sweets and breads. So I really don't know what went wrong.

    I've been eating 1300+ my fitbit calories and maintaining but a week ago I decided to add another hundred calories since MFP says that I should be eating 1480 calories to maintain my weight. However, I've gained a kg since then I'm thinking of going back to 1300 calories + fitbit calories. Any advice? I'm confused.

    Your Fitbit burn is your TDEE—aka your maintenance calories. If eat the same as your Fitbit burn but steadily gain, then you're underestimating your food. (But if it's only been a week, don't panic! Your weight will fluctuate +/- 2.5 lbs. per week.)

    MFP has a Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

    Do not log any step-based activity. Your Fitbit is already tracking that for you. Log non-step exercise (like biking or swimming) in Fitbit or MFP—never both.

    Log food & drink (including water) in MFP.

    Enable negative calorie adjustments: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings

    Set your goal to maintenance: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided

    Follow your MFP goal, eating back your Fitbit adjustments.

    It's not mathematically possible to gain 2 kilos of fat by eating 100 more calories for a week, unless you were already eating at at 400 calorie surplus or something.

    It's water weight...

    this is the site i use to look at how many calories i need for either maintaining, losing or gaining, and it shows per amount each week you prefer to lose or gain.
