That is impossible. The logical conclusion is that you are not eating less and not moving enough.

OP here. I am about 5’4, girl in her 20s. When I don’t move around getting about 200 steps working remote and eat my maintenance I end up weighing around 124.5-125 the next morning on scale. But for example, when I went into the office this week and was walking 10ksteps a day and ate about 850 cals,I weighed 125.5 on the scale the next morning.
You're joking, right? This post is just nonsense. You aren't gaining nor losing weight. You're spending all this time and wonder on a few ounces?
Honey, people's weight fluctuates day to day, especially for women. And for some of us, it fluctuates more than half a pound. If this is a serious concern/focus for you, I agree with the commenter suggesting you get counseling.

Stop weighing yourself every day.

Are you thin? Average? Overweight? You only eat 800-1000 calories on some days? Your body needs fuel and you may be starving it. It sounds like your methods are working against you.

Not moving is not healthy. Hard stop. You don't need to run 7 miles a day but for your cardiac health you need to exercise. Whatever else is going on you need to let go of it and both add cardio and weight training to your routine.

Throw out the scale.
Run to an eating disorder clinic.
Grab a cheeseburger on your way there.

The duration of transient weight gain following exercise varies from person to person and is influenced by a number of variables. It's usual to suffer a brief weight gain following physical exercise as a result of things like water retention, inflammation, and muscle glycogen replenishment. The length of this weight increase, though, is usually brief and goes away in a few days.
The body returns to its normal weight by repairing muscle tissue and adjusting its fluid balance. It's crucial to understand that this transient weight increase is unconnected to the buildup of body fat and is not reason for alarm. You may aid your body's natural processes and lessen the length and severity of temporary weight gain after exercise by keeping a regular exercise schedule, adhering to a balanced diet, remaining hydrated, and providing enough time for recuperation.
OP here. Thank you for the info, it’s just very frustrating as it gives me no motivation to even go outside and shop or basically anything where I have to move because I know I will gain weight on the scale the next day. It’s not as if I am doing intense cardio or heavy weights just a few thousand steps of moderate walking so not sure why I am gaining even though I am not technically exercising where I would need just rest

I drink and eat the same every day. On nights where I was out in the office and walking around all day, my legs feel a bit sore so maybe inflammation? But since I’ve been doing this routine for years I don’t know why my body hasn’t adapted. Also, I found that when I was on the couch completely sedentary for a week during covid barely moving, I lost weight in that time with the same exact calories and macros as I do in my normal weeks where I am walking around and out

An athlete doing a 200 mile gravel bike race in 9 hours might actually burn enough fat to experience weight loss. Other than extreme examples like that, what you are suggesting is not a thing.
Track your weight over a much longer time scale. That’s the only way the data is even relevant.
OP here. This has been happening for years tho. 3 years ago I joined a gym and ended up gaining weight over months despite eating the same and just walking no weights.

I work remote some days and then in person other days where I am walking around 10k steps. On days when I am remote I stick to my usual maintenance but eat around 800-1k cals on days when I am in person for work as I always gain weight on days I am active for some reason despite slashing the calories in half on active days. Don’t know why this happens…it has for years so not a matter of adaption. It stirs me away from walking to be active or work in person because of how frustrating it is on the scale. No one else seems to have this problem and all I hear about exercise is how it helps u lose weight given u track cals(which I am). Any reason this could be happening or does anyone else experience this?
