I also look bloated and swelled? Has this happened to anyone before? I am a long time faster and ive never experienced this.
I also started exercising again and I notice I bloated badly after that. Perhaps its that?
Were you taking electrolytes? You might be retaining water due to an increase in salt. You’ll lose it and more. I’ve often been at massive calorie deficits without losing anything for days and then all of a sudden I lose 5 lbs.
Is it Inflammation? Depending on how you trained and the stress you/your body are under you could spike your cortisol and or just retain water in your muscles. Heck after a leg day I am usually up 3+lbs.
