    It's probably just water weight. My weight went up by 5lbs when i increased 200 calories. Soon enough, it started to stabalise again, with no net gain.

    It's about time you upped your calories and stopped seeking to lose weight while already underweight. That said, it seemed in the past that you needed professional help to deal with your weight and body issues and if gaining water causes you to freak out, it seems you still need that help.

    5'7, 114 pounds is still underweight. You claim to freak out about GAINING to that point. Once again you start a thread with major red flags.

    OP - if you are trying to gain weight, why are you "freaking out" about a three pound gain????

    as someone else said it more than likely just water weight from glycogen replenishing itself.

    This.. it can also be additional food in the GI track.
