Understanding My Bodyweight Fluctuation

Le petit muerte almost turned into a big one! :joy:

Best of luck man. If you’re otherwise healthy and active your body should balance itself out within a couple days.

And most people who eat an American diet have trouble not exceeding that amount, even if they don’t own a salt shaker.

OP, sweet Jesus. Stop eating tablespoons of salt. (Another sentence I never thought I’d have to construct.) On the Diet and Supplementation Highway, stick to the middle lanes–reasonable amounts of both micro- and macronutrients; nothing that claims it will “impart positive energy to your body.”

I have trouble not exceeding that amount and I eat “very clean” :rofl:
a tsp of salt is 2000mg and TINY

Oh, I know.

Going down this road has been a real eye opener. The amounts of sodium added to sooooo many things is downright ghastly.

yeah, cottage cheese has 440mg/ half cup serving WTF

It’s crazier in some parts of China. Where my dad’s from, they put table spoons of a chopped pickled pepper into stifries loaded with teaspoons of salt. The “low- sodium” version of that stuff has 2000mg/serving

Yeah. Pickling and salt curing used to be a legit method of preservation, and ultimately necessary if you wanted things out of season.

Now, not so much. Our consumption is like crack on steroids, but a lot of the preservation techniques are from an era when people were like “Wow! Is that a real pineapple? And ham!”. Like, that meant you really went all out.

Now it doesn’t even occur to people that those types of things were at one time a real commodity. It’s just lunch.

I mean, did you weigh yourself after a cheat day in the first photo or something? For reference I lose between 5-8lb between bed time and morning after going to the bathroom now that I’m higher carb. The day after a cheat day my weight has climbed as much as 20lb, only to come back down within like 5 days. There’s a lot of information missing here.

I don’t have cheat days, I eat the same.stuff consistently. Those weights are the course between 12 days. I lose roughly a pound a day to a pound and 1/4 , then what doesn’t make sense is when I’m not at work I actually cut calories to reflect workload because we’re in lockdown and I have limited equipment to train mostly just body weight workouts and resistance bands.

But my carbs go up slightly as I wouldn’t dream.of feeding myself the same way I eat at work due to work supplying the food so I go into a frenzy.

Losing a pound per day is way too aggressive, of course you go into a feeding frenzy.

just happened again came into work around 240lbs and leaving around 226 after 14 days getting tired of this been seeking a nutritionist but having a hard time finding a reputable one in canada. I want one thats uh sport specific.

DIet: try this…

You’ve given up the salt thing now?

Mildly worrying, just to cover your bases I would get a thorough consult with a cardiologist. perfect world, an MRI also

You a fucking moron. However, you may not even be that smart.

I did give it up, kinda went MIA few things happened in life and stopped training all together.

had a distal bicep tear in september so kinda been sitting waiting for recovery, just finally training again now.

Have had lots of blood work done, an mri and everything it was blood pressure caused by m1t usage.
