Is it normal to fain an inch or two around your belly and waist by the end of the day? I know it applys for weight. My waist was 23inch and now its nearly 24.5!? :( its really upset me. I've not over eaten at all for 2 weeks at least now. Nor have I under eaten

    If you are drinking a ton of water all day, could be bloating. Watch your sodium intake as well.

    sounds like some bloat/water/waste. You can't gain fat if you are legitimately taking in less then you burn.

    Yes, but it isn't really a gain. You shouldn't be taking measurements in the AM and at the end of the day. If you want to take measurements, pick a time of day (preferably morning) and only take them at that time. You will gain inches in your stomach over the course of the day because you are adding food and water to your stomach, which will cause it to expand to fit the food/liquid.

    yeah, I wouldn't be measuring at night. I sometimes look 4-5mths pregnant after dinner, but it has gone back down by the next morning.

    I usually only take them in the morning that's why I wwasn't sure whether it was food and water or not. Thank you for telling me :)

    Haha, yes this. Try measuring before and after a really huge meal plus 32 oz of water. They'll be a change!

    Yes. You can get a higher waist measurement at the end of the day after eating and drinking. I take one look in the mirror after my high volume meals and KNOW that measurement is easily and inch higher.
