No trend to weight gain/loss

[adpreston1988]

I've been keeping a spread sheet of my caloric intake, weight, and exercises daily for the past 2-3 weeks. I have seen no trends though. It doesn't make any sense. Sometimes I'll exercise a hell of a lot, barely eat and still gain weight. And other times I'll pig out and lose weight. These are the data I've been keeping the past 2-3 weeks. Let me know if there's something I'm missing, so maybe I can figure out a trend to my weight gain/loss. Otherwise it's very hard to maintain a stable weight.

all the calories in the exercise column indicate how many calories I burned off in the gym via tread mill/bike. Anyways, I always weigh myself at the same time of day.

Dude, 2-3 weeks is hardly long enough to see noticable changes. If you saw any weight loss at first, it's water loss, not fat/muscle.

That being said...When you don't eat, your metabolism goes way down, causing you to gain weight.

When you "pig out", it keeps your metabolism up, causing you to lose weight. Be careful with eating though, you CAN eat too much very easily.

To maintain a stable weight you have to be consistent with everything. Eat the same amount of food each day, do the same amount of cardio each day, do the same amount of weight training each day, get the same amount of sleep each day, drink the same amount of water each day, etc.

There are alot of variables, just try to be consistent with them and you'll achieve stability. Once you control all the factors, you'll be able to tweak each one individually depending on whether you want to gain/lose weight.

I like to call this weight fluctuation, and it means jack sh*t


Try taking your weight once a week. For 6 months. THEN make a thread about it.
