Is it possible to gain 3lb from one bad day? Seems a lot! Thrown me a bit to be honest! Usually eat low carb wet for a meal ate pizza bread ice cream chocolate all night but nothing else during day apart from a protein shake and I am 3lb up this morning

You had alot of sodium so your body is retaining all the water - don't sweat it0

+ you still most likely have that pizza inside you.
scary eh.0 -
It's normal to have fluctuations of up to 3 pounds I think - I'm sure it won't be lasting damage. I was feeling pretty awful after eating a bit too much this week and a binge on thursday - but still managed to lose a pound! One binge won't have a lasting effect.0

It may infact be good, It might help accelerate your metabolism. Just control your diet for the next few days more rigorously. You will loose what you gained up.0

Or do sweat it! See what I did there?0 -
A weight gain, yes.
A fat gain? Nope.
Don't sweat it. Stay well hydrated and get ready to pee all that water retention off. For it to be a 3lb fat gain you'd have to eat your TDEE and 10,500 kCal on top of that.0 -
Probably just water weight + food weight.
If you weigh yourself daily, youll see your weight fluxuate like crazy every day.
In my case, I can gain as much as 10 lbs, and lose it in a week. The body works in strange ways.0 -
5lb gain here!0

I put 3.5 kilos on and the start of the week just by having a slice of cheesecake and some chocolate. By Friday it was gone. Didn't do anything special but return to my normal eating0
