I gained 6 pounds in one week! HELP?!
I have not changed my daily calorie intake at all or my general eating habits. I've just incorporated 1-2 shots of vodka every night into my daily calorie count. and I'm not much of a drinker so drinking alcohol every night this week is of course not the norm for me. could all the 6 pounds be water weight from dehydration…

thighs getting massive from biking and walking?!
I'm a "skinny fat" girl. I'm technically underweight but BMR calculation are weird! I don't really look thin and I think I have the minimum muscle mass. Anyway, in an attempt to fix this, I started biking this summer (burning 300-500cal 3-4 times a week). but I've replaced biking with walking 4-6 hours a day (3-4x week)…

how long before you lose the water weight after binging?
on sat I drank too much vodka (6-8 shots) and ate around 3000 cal. since sat I have only been eating 500-700cal a day. not really on purpose, I just haven't been doing too well emotionally to eat. and yes, I know this is stupid and has made things worse! anyway, I don't have scale but I look massively bloated and puffy. my…

I've gained weight since I started biking! HELP?
I've gone from a couch potato to biking for 40-90min (at max/high effort) 2-4 times a week for the past 3 weeks or so. I use biking apps and I usually burn 200-350cal my daily calorie intake has not changed. I know you usually gain after starting to exercise but mine has not been that intense to warrant a 3 pound weight…

how much weight will I gain on a week-long vacation?
I'm talking about how much actual fat (not the crazy water weight thats sure to pile on) is it possible to gain in one week if I really let loose? not binging, just giving myself the freedom to eat what I want without counting calories. Also I know the whole 3500cal=1lbs rule but even if I binge everyday, there is a…

can alcohol make me gain 4 pounds?
i'm not much of a drinker but this week I've been having 1-2 shots of vodka every night. the calorie content of vodka can't be why I've gained 4 pounds because my daily total calorie has not changed. usually I would be sure the 4 pounds are due to water weight from the alcohol but I know I've been pretty dehydrated already…

How much weight can you gain in one week?

weight gain after SIX days of binging?
I completely lost all control this week and binged everyday! I haven't been keeping track of my binge calories but I'm guessing somewhere over 4000 everyday. I'm up 7 pounds but I couldn't have gained 7 pounds of actual fat in six days though, right? how much of it do you think is just water weight?

Ok so yesterday morning I woke up and went on a massive binge. I ate anything I wanted but still tracked of the calories I was insanely consuming. by the end it was about 5000-5200.

how much should I eat before surgery?
I'm having all my 4 wisdom teeth removed next tuesday and apparently I wont be able to eat normally for 2 weeks afterwards. so I was thinking I should enjoy myself this week and eat more. I do weekly counting (starting on sundays) and I average about 1450cal a day. do you think it would be ok to eat about 1800cal a day…

counting calories daily vs weekly?
Ive been doing daily counting for years now and just recently started weekly. I know both ways should technically work the same way but I was wanted to clear up some things. so if i set my weekly calories at around 9100 calories, would it be alright if i go over by a lot some days and go below 1200 calories on other days?…

gained 4 pounds in a week??!
so last week I didn't count calories for 4 days and I know I probably ate a little more than usual and i ate unhealthy foods instead of the really healthy foods that I normally eat. I didn't gorge myself in those 4 days though, so I don't understand why I gained 4 pounds. I haven't been working out in a couple months so it…
