Why did I gain weight?

psicocat

So....I weighed 8st lb 5 days ago. I walk a minimum of 21000 steps a day everyday. I eat 2000 calories a day to maintain my weight, 1800 if I over indulge.

My question is, we had a few days away, visiting a few historical gardens etc. I still walked minimum 21000 sometimes 32000 ate roughly 2100 to 2300 cals a day. I log religiously and I don't lie on it.

Got home today and I'm 9st 1lb

Your weight fluctuates all the time - there's more to your body weight than just fat. You probably ate out which means more salt and alcohol and are retaining water.

If you were eating restaurant meals, you probably a) ate more calories than you think, b) ate a lot more sodium than usual. The weight will probably go away quickly.

Did you take a plane to get there? Flying can add a heck of a lot of temporary water weight which will dissipate in a few days. Ditto on excess sodium.

Wait, you gained a stone (14lb) in 5 days? Are you sure those numbers are correct?

Were you using different scales?

Couple months ago I was abroad and ate all kinds of weird things at different restaurants. I gained over 5 kg of water weight in 5 days.
That extra weight went away in a week, once I was back home with my usual routine.
