Hi, I've been eating 2000 cals a day for about 5 days now. I did eat 3 slices of pizza 2 nights ago and went over cals by about 1000. Now I was 15.9 about 5 days ago. And I'm now weighing 16 stone. It just makes no sense. I've been drinking like its going out of fashion. I went for a 4.3 mile run yesterday and also ran a couple of 2 miles also. I am 5ft 7 male. Play football for an hour once a week. Lift 3 days and run 2-3 days also. Are my calories on the right track??

    Normal daily fluctuations due to many things. Your body can vary up to 5 pounds a day

    Yeah but I have weighed myself every morning and it seems to go up rather than down...

    Grrrr so i think i found the issue... I weighed myself again and realised that for some reason upon taking the scales from a vertical position and putting down it read 16 stone. After i got off scale i weighed again and it was 15.11 right after dinner. I weighed about 5 times in a row after and was always 15.11 so my guess is i should let the scales settle before i get on? Thing is there digital? anyone had this issue?

    If you're going to weigh everyday, it's a good idea to graph it so you see the general trend over time. It will keep you from worrying about the occasional and completely normal body weight variations.

    Only ever weigh yourself first thing in the morning when you wake up and not later in the day or you'll drive yourself insane.
