Just for reference I weighed myself before and after eating (+ 250ml drink) and I seemed to gain 2 pounds.
I didn't eat 2 pounds worth of food.
Why is this?????
Thanks

Food + Water + Saliva swallowed while eating.0

Your body also produces extra fluids to aid digestion.0

Never weigh after eating. Always weigh first thing in the morning, before eating anything. Your weight will fluctuate greatly during the day. Pay no attention to that.0

Well the water alone is over half a pound If you underestimated your water, there's a bit there.
But none of it is body fat.
Slight OT and immature, but you should try weighing yourself before and after a BM. LOL0 -

I tend to weigh 2-3 lbs less if I weigh in around 3 pm or so. I used to weigh less first thing in the morning, but that's not the case now. Not sure why, guess we're all different. My advice? Pick a time, and stick with that, be it morning, noon, or midnight.

One question...why?0
-
I experimented to see how much I put on after eating0

to those posters that said saliva... hello! the saliva is already in your body before you eat, she didn't eat saliva!
to the OP, 8 oz of water is 1 pound, so that can add up quickly.0 -

My husband does software support at Cardinal Scale (the company that makes the Detecto scales in your doctor's office) and there are test scales all around their office and the guys will often weigh right after they eat lunch then again right after they take a poo just to see who can get the biggest poo. Absolutely disgusting but hilarious at the same time. Grown men weighing their poo. *sigh*0 -
I find that I weigh lightest on Mondays and heaviest on Wednesdays or Thursdays. I don't know why; I don't eat more during the week although I do work a sedentary job. Perhaps it's just because I can work out so much longer on the weekends. Anyway, now I try to only weight first thing on Monday mornings.0

Thanks, I think I'm this obsessive because of my past and I panic on the first sign of me gaining weight0

16 ounces = 1 pound0 -
Where the hell do you think that food you eat goes? To some black hole void in space? It's in your stomach. It has a weight and mass. You put it in your body, your weight goes up until it can be processed.0

8oz of water is a volume measurement. The volume of water that takes up 8oz of space in a glass weighs 1lb on a scale.0 -
I KNOW IVE COME INTO THIS EXTREMELY UNEDUCATED!0

But you have to know that food has a weight and when you put that entire weight into your body, it will add to what you already weigh until its broken down and/or excreted? That's basic biology hun.. pop into a library and grab a nutrition textbook. You'll get a lot of good basic information to help things make more sense0
