Today i went over my calories for the super bowl. I never go over and the first day i do since my journey the scale says 5 pounds heaver from yesterday. Wth. Way to make me feel more guilty than i already do. Yes i know the scale fluctuates but i just needed to vent.

I would say you probably aren't alone today. I think I had one plateful of food during the game alone that took up my entire daily allotment! Chalk it up as an anomaly and start kicking butt tomorrow morning again!5

Oh i will. I was just mad about the scale being 5 pound more in one day.0 -
Water weight. Hope you enjoyed the food!4

Wait a minute... you weighed yourself tonight? After eating all day? When do you normally weigh yourself?3

Wait until the morning to weigh yourself. The scale is always up in the evening after eating even if you didn't go over your calories because food and liquid have weight.2

If you were eating stereotypical superbowl food, you'd be experiencing some wicked fluid retention due to the salt content of the food. I mean, you didn't go 17500 Cals over maintenance to put on 5lbs
...and if you did, I'd hate to think how your digestive tract is coping right now >_<2 -
The first time I ever counted calories was after the Super Bowl about 10 years ago. I manually entered all the info on a spreadsheet and came up with a best guess of 9000 calories. A house full of food and I couldn't stop eating . Thankfully I have more self control these days and only went about 500 over maintenance today.2

I'm up 4 pounds today. But I barely drank water and might as well have eaten bags of salt. But! I'm killing the water today and I'm confident in the next day or two, it'll be better. I was just a tick over maintenance calories.1

You aren't really up 4 or 5 pounds, it's mostly water weight. Give it a few days and most or all of it will be gone.2
