stomach flu weight loss

Giddyduck

I have had the stomach flu for a couple days and my weigh in is tomorrow, I suspect my weight will be falsely low. I havent eaten solid food in two days and only sipped on ginger ale. Any ideas on how to track it my weight so that my gain after I can eat again minimized. Thanks

you may be surprised that you haven't lost very much due to "Starvation mode" if it was me I would weigh but not record it and then weigh in as normal next week.

I would not weigh in this week...wait till you're back into a normal eating pattern. You will probably show a huge loss due to dehydration, and once you start eating and drinking fluids regularly, it will be more accurate.
