Every time I eat salt…

I’m looking for input from all of you experienced people on this weight loss journey. I have been on a very restricted caloric deficit tracking tightly. I’m going insane because of these 2 things and I need help understanding how to bypass it:

1.) Every single time I eat something that is salty, for example, popcorn, I will literally go up 2lbs. on the scale. And then it takes me several days to bring that back down. So instead of losing, I go up and have to spend the next couple of days just to get back to where I was before the salt. It happens every. single. time. How can this be normal to experience such a set back from just a little bit of salt? 2.) Every single day I do weight training, I go up a couple of lbs. on the scale, without fail. Why?

I’m spending so much time just back tracking on the things that move the scale up. I understand water retention from salt. I understand glycogen stores. But how can it be this extreme? I’ve been weight training for months. It should be adjusted by now. Salt is a normal part of diet, how can my body still not be adjusted to it? It’s destroyed my goals and my morale.

I would appreciate any input!

Thanks, guys!
