Hello, is it normal to quickly gain weight after a dry. In one day I gained 450 grams. Do I have to worry or not to worry and do I have to keep increasing my kcal to gain mass

    Are you trying to gain?

    Regardless, that's less than a pound, which is WELL within a reasonable daily fluctuation, so don't put too much stock into it one way or another (my weight can easily fluctuate up to 4-5 lbs in a day (last Wed 8/25 I weighed in at 153.6; Thurs 8/26 I was 148.4 on the scale); not a big deal at all.

    If the fluctuations are bothersome, maybe consider downloading a weight trending app.

    As stated above, your weight can go up and down overnight depending on how much water you are retaining due to salt, exercise, time of month, stress, undigested food in your stomach, etc. You need to look at the long term trend, not the day to day fluctuations.
