Hi! I know that weighing myself every day isn't always helpful. But last night I ate Chinese food at a nice restaurant and then observed my weight. Two days I was down to 126 pounds, today I am up to 130. I have eaten at a deficit both days, but the scale is telling me differently. Can sodium really affect me this much?

    Definitely.... If you ate more carbs than normal that would have caused weight "gain" too.

    Sodium and water fluctuations can average 10 lbs! If you were a hardcore athlete, you could weigh at a 20 lb difference before and after your workout due to water loss.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep on your deficit and the scale will go back down.
