    Your bodyweight fluctuates 5-7 pounds on the daily. If you weigh yourself right when you wake up and again right after breakfast you will see this for yourself. That extra weight is a combination of water weight and glycogen stores filling up. Nothing to worry about.

    Really? I thought it was higher from the weight of my breakfast.

    The weight of the food you eat is also going to be part of your daily fluctuations.

    I always get worried about taking creatine that I will keep on increasing.

    The only thing that will make you "keep on increasing" is a caloric surplus. Don't worry about temporary water weight. The number on the scale will keep going down as long as you keep losing fat from your caloric deficit. You're not going to get bulky on a deficit.

    I think she knows that. I think her response was somewhat tongue-in-cheek in regards to the "right after breakfast" part meaning water and glycogen, as opposed to the breakfast you just ate.

    3 lbs is well within range of normal fluctuations. I wouldn't sweat it unless it sticks around for a few weeks.
