    You can also gain water weight from exercising - the body holds on to water to aid in muscle repair from the exercise.

    Also you can gain water weight for a vatiety of other reasons.

    Your body is made mostly of water and it uses water for many bodily functions. Your water will fluctuate all the time. Don't expect your morning weight to be a result of what you ate or drank or did the day before. Only the overall trend after a long time will have any meaning.

    Water weight is temporary. Some common causes are TOM/Hormones/Ovulation, Sodium, Muscle repair, Stress, Lack of Sleep, Change in quantity of certain food groups eaten from day to day. Assuming your goal is to reduce weight by losing body fat over time, try not to be caught up in the day to day variations. Compare month to month to see the big picture trend.

    I try to keep in mind that my body has other stuff going on other than my eating and exercising but yes usually if I eat something out from a restaurant or frozen meals I get bloated for sure. It should come off in a couple days. I wouldn't eat that way every single day but it should be fine.
