Gaining Weight

This week I’ve gained about 3lbs. I haven’t been eating the best but I’ve stayed under 2,000 calories a day. It really gets me down when I see the number on the scale go up. Is it possible that I’ve gained 3lbs of fat in one week??

Weight fluctuates daily, due all sorts of things not fat related. Sodium intake, digestion periods, hormones/pms/tom, time of day you're weighing yourself etc etc.0

Assuming you did not eat a surplus of 10500 calories.
