For that amount of exercise you should be eating a little more aim for at least 1200 cals, and make sure they are clean vitamin rich foods. Balance is key.

It's probably water weight! You're not eating enough calories that your body needs to live! When you do that, your body holds onto it's most valuable resource: Water!

For comparison - I'm 5'1'' with a sedentary lifestyle, and I need 1,300 calories just to live. O.o
