Is holding water genetic or cause by strictly what u eat

[viciousness]

I went from 266 to 271 overnight last night, How and why. I definitely cheated by eating some pizza but my other meals were the same besides some late night carb binge with a bagel. This has happend to me before jumping like4-7 lbs in a night even without eating high sodium foods and stuff. Any explination or studies on water retention is it genetic or strictly varying on the macro nutes in the food

so are you weighing your self in the morning..and again at night?

 

[viciousness]

no usually just in the am like 20 minutes after I wake up before my first meal. Should i be weighing in at night aswell?

I always weigh the least in the morning, and water retention is significantly less in tha AM for me as well (probably why I weigh the least too).

 

[viciousness]

same but every so often after a cheat meal the next morning ill only once in a while come up like 3-6lbs heavier, i kno its a bitchmade question but me and a couple of my boys at the gym have been all skeptical why. Figured id put it out here incase anyone knows

Your glycogen stores can vary by as much as 500g, and each g of glycogen attracts 4g of water.

Plus, in addition to intra-muscular water retention (described above), a sodium rich meal can cause general fluid retention.

This this can accout for weight fluctuations.

+, if ur anything like me, you may be about to take a massive dump lol

Thanks. My explanation is why when people go on diets, they becomes so excited by their first week progress (b/c they have lost so much scale weight related to depleted muscle glycogen). This effect is even more extreme on keto, which is a pro-directic diet.

Personally, I would never weigh myself on a diet for at least 3 days to determine my starting weight
