Cheat days ok? will weight disappear if u have one cheat day?

So I had one cheat day yesterday, and I ate 1400 calories opsssxD I usually eat 1000 to 1200 calories a day ( 500 cal the day before this cheat day), so 1400 made me gain 1 kg?! :( yikes.. is that normal lol. Will this weight go down after a few days, is it water weight or is it fat? What can I do to get away water weight? Thanks for reply:)<3

    is it weird that I don't like cheat days? I prefer to take those extra calories at the end of the week, and use them during the week.

    You should still be entering foods like Yogurt into your food diary, unless I misunderstood what you said.

    @mattig89ch Nope. Not weird. It's the mindset that goes along with it, cheat meals can turn into cheat days, cheat months. Have what you want every single day and let the steam out of the kettle.

    200 "extra" calories = 0.057 of a pound of fat, or about 1/20th of a pound. In other words, it's a rounding error. If your scale shows more weight gain than that, it's retained water, perhaps from the sodium in that additional 200 calories. In a few days it'll be all gone.

    You can't make water weight go away faster than it wants to go away. The body retains water primarily in relation to your consumption of sodium, and releases the water on a schedule as it sees fit. 1-5 days depending on what you ate and how water logged you are.

    if you gain weight from eating 1200 calories, it’s only because there’s more food, salt, or water in your body than you’re used to. It’s not fat. If you’re not happy with the way your body looks at such a low weight, I’d suggest building muscle. You can easily do this without looking bulky and a lot of the people (like the kpop people you mentioned) actually have a lot more muscle than you’d think

    A couple of weeks ago I wasnt well due to migraine and I ate something along the lines of 500 cals for the day, I got 'told off' when I tried to complete my entries for the day, it told me I had eaten too little. How come OP is not getting this warning up when they complete their entries?

    If she is completing her diary on those days she is getting that same message.

    And not listening to it. I see

    I never complete my entries because the only thing you get from it is this inaccurate prediction of what you will weigh in 5 weeks time and a post on your newsfeed. I don't care about either so don't see the point.

    I never complete my diary any more either ( I don't eat 500 calories per day either - unless I am sick or something) so easy enough to not do that and miss the message.
    Or do it and ignore the message.

    Oh for some reason I thought you had to complete the entry for it to calculate your weekly report of calories? Perhaps not then?

    no, definitely not.

    I never close my diary and I can still see at end of week how many calories I was over or under for the week
