You ate almost 4,000mg of sodium. That's twice what is recommended for any human. You are retaining water weight.

Definitely this.0 -
Obviously you did gain the weight if that's what the scale says. It's probably water weight, or if it's close to that time of month, bloating--same thing. You wouldn't gain that much fat unless you ate over 10,000 calories.0

Omg, I did the same thing this week. I gained 4lbs seemingly overnight. I hope it's just water weight cause I'm almost ready to give this weight loss journey up. It's so disappointing sometimes.0

yes you can.....but it will be water retention and will go away quite quickly.0

It's just water retention don't worry about it:)
Just going a few days back in your diary and I see you have alot of sodium you should try really hard to bring this down.
Take care0 -
Solution to water retention = Less Salt/ More water! Water is a natural diuretic. "Water weight" doesn't come from drinking too much water, it comes from having high sodium levels in your body. When sodium is high your body holds on to the water it has.. Easy solution, dilute the sodium... drink lots of water!0

It's food/water weight. Eating 300 calories over your goal one day won't make you balloon out.0

No.. unless again its Water gain. But, its a good practice NOT to weigh yourself everyday for the simple fact that your weight does tip up and down. That is why my Dr. suggested weighing once a week at the same time. Just a suggestion. Don't beat yourself up

May I suggest stay away from McDonald's, the sodium in their food is outrages.
I had a buddy burger from A&W today as was shocked that a small burger could have so much sodium in it. And that was without cheese.
Drink plenty of water which it looks like you are doing, but you need lots to wash that stuff out of your system. Hang in there it will disappear.0 -
check for yourself, but I believe that the burger had even more sodium than fries? I try to avoid any packaged stuff because of the sodium content.0
-
def your sodium intake ..its too high0
-
Your Chef Boy R D had like 6 times the amount of sodium than the fries!!!0
-
You are eating too less, not healthy, and LOTS LOTS OF SODIUM my friend!!!0

Well. Surprisingly I learned something new from this topic. I've been fairly knowledgeable to nutrition but I had yet to read or hear of water retention being directly related to your sodium intake. Makes sense though. Thanks, I'm glad you had your concern so I can learn to watch a few things a little better (:0
