Hey i seem to have gained 2.9 kg in four days? I have been eating above maintenance but did i really gain fat that quickly? Is this how weight gain works? you see no gain on the scale for weeks and then a sudden bounce in weight?i I know it could be water weight but it seems extreme and my pants feel tighter.

my weight fluctuates up to 7 pounds in a day.

You'd have to eat over 20,000 calories beyond maintenance for it to be all fat. So yes it's mostly water.

Orphia

Could be any or all of these causing water retention:

• Increased exercise (glycogen storage)
• Increased sodium
• Time of Month

Or it could be:

• Rate of digestion/elimination

Not likely to be anywhere near all fat.
