If you weigh yourself daily, stop freaking out over weight fluctuations.

I’m tired of reading posts with the language of “I ate over my maintenance calories yesterday and this morning I gained 3 pounds” or “I ate so good over the weekend but only lost 0.5 pounds according to the scale”

Between yesterday and today and even tomorrow, you didn’t gain or lose anything. It takes a full week or sometimes more for your body to process actual weight changes in which you’ve lost fat or gained muscle mass.

Nothing wrong with weighing yourself daily, but take it with a grain of salt. If you want to track progress and compare numbers, pick one day out of the week or every 2 weeks and compare changes over longer periods of time.

2 extra lbs because you decided to eat ice cream and French fries on ONE night isn’t real weight gain. You’re just bloated.
