if I slowly up my calories but still have a deficit and gain of couple of pounds, is that water weight or?

    Usually people who up their calories will gain a few pounds at first, then it starts dropping off again. Give it 4-6 weeks before making any additional changes.

    I'm glad you asked this! The same thing happened to me and it's pretty frustrating :( It's just important to remember that more calories also means more energy to do things, which I sorely needed. I just keep telling myself that better quality of life more than makes up for a temporary weight gain for a couple of weeks. I definitely feel your pain, though.
