Up 2 lbs?!

[Mjohnson4631 10]

So I weighed today and am up two lbs! I'm 5 wks out I'm so aggravated. This is so hard to balance to get in all Protein etc.. Going to start exercising soon maybe that'll help. How could I gain I'm still eating around 500 cals . I'm focused on low carb high protein. Sucks!!!!!!!!! Anyone else have any gains early on?

I don't think that's enough calories. Your body could be in starvation mode. Fluctuations are normal though - you can go up and down a few lbs just from Water retention.

Don't forget about your menstrual cycle. With our hormones all afflux that time of the month can be especially puffy, but afterwards you can drop super quick so keep that in mind.

It'll probably be gone tomorrow or in a couple days. I wouldn't worry about it

I'm at 4 months and my doctors calorie recommendations is 600. I think she's probably fine with calories. Just my opinion.
