When does a day's food intake show on the scale?

What do people find? When you have a bad diet day, how long until you see the increase on the scale. Likewise, if you have an excellent day. I weigh in weekly on Sunday, but I'm wondering if I have a Christmas party on a Saturday and don't eat well, would it show up by Sunday's weigh in - or will it be a few days later?

    my weight is quick to go up, but slow to go down. I am going to a Christmas party tonight so I went ahead and weighed this morning because I know just a few drinks and a little non-healthy food and I will pick up 3 lbs on tomorrow's scale. On the flip side, it takes 3 days or so of eating back to normal that the quick pick-up goes away.
