    Water retention maybe?
    You may be eating salts in food without realizing it.
    Are you due on your period? x

    Increasing the vegies you eat and/or your fiber will cause you to feel bloated until your body adjusts to it. But, eating as many fresh vegies as you can is also a great way to stay full longer (along with adding more protein like fish, chicken and egg whites) and get your vitamins. Also, you really need to drink at least 8 cups of water a day or more. that too can leave you feeling bloated at first, until your body adjusts. Hang in there! It should get better if you're eating enough and the right foods.

    Are you eating after 6p.m? I've noticed that I feel bloated (even the next day) after eating too much in the evenings ..

    Have you been drinking lots of water? Sometimes if you are not used to drinking alot of water, your body will kind of hold on to it.... but just keep drinking and then it will start to flush your body out.

    What are you eating? and what are you doing for exercise?

    If you are exercising you could be gaining muscle.
