I had posted last week that I fell off the wagon but I did not qualify what I meant...do here goes I literally 900 calories per day instead of my usual 600 cal and I00 gms of carbs instead of my usual 50gms. I confessed, repented and got back to protein & excercise........ well I gained 5 pounds in 1 week.....which is mathematically impossible as I did not consume 20,000 additional calories in a week....so what gives? My Overall weight loss is 42 lbs in 3 months.

At this point I will take a stall but gain ????

Probably as it is that time .... but I don't have a regular period so I hope this flushes out of me soon

600 kcal at 12 weeks out sounds very little. Granted I don't have a guidline, I have been anywhere from 700 to 1200 since week 6. In general I'm around 7-900 and I'm not even 8 weeks out.

Also, carbs makes you retain more water if your body is not used to it.

Meryline is right! If you ate a lot of carbs or processed foods - the salt and carbs will have you retaining water.
You probably didn't gain anything, really !
900 calories a day isn't all that much in my opinion!
