Not by much (0.3 lbs), but why wouldn't the scale be down after a day with a 4 mile run and eating under 1500 calories (MFP says 1,065 remaining).

Diary: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/cyruscyrus?date=2013-10-10

My guess is:

Not drinking enough water?
Late night eating (11:30PM)
Having beer at all (Even low calorie beer)

Anything you could add?

    The only thing I can reall say is that this is a long journey so try to stop making it a day by day process unless you really want to learn how your body works. I actually use to weigh myself everyday to get trends on how it reacts to certain ways I eat with water weight and such, by doing this I learned to not really care at all from all of the little ups and downs my weight does through out the week, and I picked one day to be my official weigh in day and time of each week. Now I just weigh myself every couple of weeks to see where I am. For most I would say just weigh once a week under the same conditions everytime, or you will drive yourself crazy.

    Wait did I just go back and read that you are suppuse to eat 1500 calories, and have 1056 left over? That seems really really bad. You are not eating enough if that is true.

    Your muscle tissue is hanging on to water to be able to better/faster repair itself .

    I wouldn't even consider 0.3lbs a gain. Sorry to be icky, but go to the bathroom, it'll be gone.

    Also, eat more.

    Not drinking enough water - No
    Late night eating - No
    Having beer all day - No
    Water retention from exercise - Yes

    Seariously I could get rid of 0.3lbs in a good session on the toilet. Can you also calrify on thing what do you mean you have 1065 Calories remaining?

    .3 lbs is really not a big deal. Our bodies are intricate machines. We go a little up. We go a little down. Don't stress over .3 lbs.
