Let me preface this with backstory. I was overweight in high school, and dropped down to sub-10% bodyfat which I maintained for over a year, now 5 years later, through poor choices, I've regained a lot of the weight. In other words, I know what realistic weight loss looks like.
Over a week ago, I bought a Renpho BI scale so I could monitor the trend of my BF% (I'm waiting for sub 18% to pop out the calipers). I weigh myself daily (harking back to the above, I'm fully aware that daily bodyweight fluctuations are possible and I only put credence in my weekly weightloss).
I'm currently 186lbs@26%BF, eating ~1400 calories a day on a 40-30-30 C-F-P macro split, I have a desk job and walk under 2000 steps between 9am and 6pm, however I do intense exercise 6 days per week (weightlifting 1hr+ MWF, running 30min+ TR, boxing Sun 30min+). I also drink, on average 96oz of water a day.
Friday and Saturday, I got caught up with the events of the day and ate significantly under my daily threshold (941 and 1025 respectively). Yesterday, however, I caught up and ate around 1347 calories for the day but accidentally ate a very large amount of sodium (3415mg instead of my usual 1400-1500) but still drank over 96oz of water. Also worth mentioning, I am extremely cautious with logging calories, I weigh and log every single thing I'd estimate the possible margin of error as, at most, 10cal/1000cal.
This morning, I weighed myself and the scale says that I gained 1.2lbs which I would have chalked up to water weight, however it also says that I lost 3% body water percent. Does this make sense? Could it be my scale simply misinterpreting the electrical impulse (as BI scales ARE known to do), or could the sudden surge of calories yesterday have actually caused me to gain fat? I'd like to reiterate that I'm not really stressed or demotivated by the weight gain, but just curious to it's cause.
