CURSE MY IGNORANCE!!

But OP, when you said this -

you did a particularly hard workout the day before and the muscles are repairing themselves

- my brain exploded. Why on earth would you gain temp weight from muscles repairing?

This quote is from shape :blushing:- not the best source...

"A person's scale mass is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, the brain and neural tract, connective tissue, blood, lymph, intestinal gas, urine, and the air that we carry in our lungs. Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each of these categories can shift as much as 15 percent." Intense workouts cause variability on the scale due to factors like hydration status, inflammation from muscle damage repair (we call this delayed onset muscle soreness), even the amount of intestinal by-product or urine and blood volume, Dolgan says.

Still looking for more reliable sources that describe the result better - but that one works for now. *DON'T HIT ME FOR MY SOURCE*

No worries. Sactownfilmer said pretty much the same thing, that the muscles retain some water when they are repairing. Thanks for the info and the insight.

I dont freak as much as think about what I did different that may have caused the 3Ib weight gain. If the answer is nothing I move on! If I keep gaining the weight THEN I FREAK OUT!

And even so... I don't think the conversion from consumption to fat will take place instantly. I could be wrong. (Happens from time to time :laugh:)

I have the urge to go home and paint my dumbbells pink. Just because I love pink. I'm glad I've learned not to freak out over a gain, especially the morning after a late dinner when I haven't pooped yet. :drinker:

All I know is that one time I ate a cake donut assuming that it had less calories than a Boston Kreme, b/c the Boston Kreme is the best.

I was wrong. I should have had the Boston Kreme; it had 50 calories less! I know this has nothing to do with the original topic. It has just been bothering me. And this has been the first donut title I have seen.

you know what gets me? a donut OFTEN has less calories than a muffin from the SAME PLACE.



I was appalled when I first realized that.

10k??? No way.

I barely broke 5k last Christmas...and was around 4k in the two Christmases prior.

That's an impressive feat.

ETA: Aha! I checked your diary...

...and was only 8k.

(That's still substantial though. =P )
