Gaining weight and don’t know why?

Help!! I keep track of my food intake and I track my workouts as well. I’m always under my calories goal and I workout every day. About 600-700 calories burned. I will lose weight, then gain back. Then lose it and gain back again on weekend.

You can't see real loss and gain within a week, it's fluctuations. What do you do when you se a higher number on the scale?2

When I see weight gain i try to change something. Maybe my workout routine, change it up a little.kommodevaran wrote: »You can't see real loss and gain within a week, it's fluctuations. What do you do when you se a higher number on the scale?

Unless you're weighing daily and using a weight trender to help filter out what might be true weight gain vs temporary or water weight, you're going to spend a lot of time reacting to things that don't need to be reacted to.4 -

Over what time period are you talking about?
What is your current weight and goal weight?
How are you calculating caloric intake? Are you accounting for the 20% margin of error? Are you overestimating your exercise?
These are the highest level questions, then move down from there and keep digging into the data. Open your diary to some MFP veterans and get their input.
Water weight fluctuates greatly, so fat loss may be hidden behind this data. Do you see an overall downward trend over weeks/months?0 -
Weekend water retention. Over many weeks, is the general trend downward?0

Set an official weekly weigh in. Same day, and time. Control as many factors as you can. If you have to peek at the scale during the week, it’s just that, peeking. Don’t react.
Track your weight weekly but think in terms of months.1
