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.

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

    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.
