The weight displayed on your bathroom scale does not mean much when you consider the following:
• 60% of total body mass is water weight.
• The less water you drink the more water you retain.
• The greater the processing the greater the sodium content. Read labels, canned foods, boxed mixes and frozen dinners are usually very HIGH in sodium while fruits, vegetables, lean meats and beans are very LOW.
• There are 3500 calories contained in ONE POUND of fat. So it is therefore impossible to gain 5 pounds (17,500 calories) from one meal. When the scale goes up 3-4 pounds overnight it's likely to be water; glycogen and the weight of your dinner.
• The more muscle you have the more calories your body burns while exercising. A lean body can burn up to 200 more calories per hour during aerobic activity than those with average body composition.
