Unless you ate 10500 cal, my bet would be it is Water gain. It happens to me all the time, especially when I eat pickles. It should come off in a day or two.

lets hope lol. because damnnnnn. yea i have not eaten a bunch of stuff. Most of my day is typically 2 eggs 2 slices of cheese for Breakfast, lunch a couple ounces of roasted chicken thighs and a scoop of sweet potatoes and a spoonful of carrots, dinner is almost the same and dessert 2 scoops of low carb low sugar ice cream.

It happens, don't stress.

You couldn't eat enough to gain that weight in fat so very likely Water weight.

Take 1 cup of lukewarm water and 1/8 of a fresh lemon. Squeeze the juice in the water and drink it. It is a natural diuretic and works amazingly!

PS: I can gain and loose 10 lbs in water. I have seen it. Especially when I was bigger, now i don't see that much fluctuation but still fluctuate none the less.

I once gained 3 pounds in a day by eating pickles! It's the salt, but my goodness.

I've learned to only weigh myself once a week now because sometimes Water weight can make a 2-4 pound fluctuation, and it'll drive ya nuts lol Watch salt intake and I bet it'll go away soon. Water weight sucks.

Yeah lol . Pickles do that to me everytime so whenever I get cravings for pickles (often). I still weigh myself but since I am aware of what they do temporarily to me, it doesn't bother me. I think my max was +5 lbs in a day! But it went away in a day or so.

Whenever I have a check in with my surgeon, I stay away from pickles for a week before! Ah and no sushi with soy sauce a week before either. Ha.

It can be a shock when you see the higher number on the scales, but fluctuations happen when you’re losing & when your weight is stable too . Fluid retention, Constipation, hormones, just because our bodies can be weird can contribute. It could even be your scales - uneven surface, failing battery, etc.

I’ve posted this before but my scales read this a couple of months ago. It initially read more than 150kg - 3x my weight. So yes, heart palpitations & a second or two of thinking how the &**##$ did I put on that much weight before I regained my senses. Replaced the batteries which saw the 136kg weight but turned out the scales were dying.

Water weight.. might have eaten extra salt or hormones… you are going to be good in a few days.. drink some extra water to make your body release it

80% of the time I eat what I make at home. I have found that eating out at restaurants - NO MATTER WHAT I eat will cause me to gain weight. I cook with VERY little to no salt. I always have, even when I was so obese. Restaurants salt and pepper salads, steamed vegetables, rice, EVERYTHING. Not too long ago I went out with some work buddies to Panda Express. I got a kid's portion of green Beans and chicken over brown rice. I ate the green beans and chicken and maybe three tablespoons of rice. I gained 4 pounds overnight. It took me two days to figure out what had happened, when I realized all I wanted to do was drink Water !!!! I was way too heavily salted !!!!!

It happens. Also many home cooks follow recipes and most call for a TON of salt. I have friends who come over and the fist thing they do is ask me to haul out the salt shaker ! I happily do. For them.
