I have been eating the same exact cals macros and track all my steps and workouts as well. No difference in that


You sounds like maybe you need to see a therapist. Why have you been this closely monitoring your intake, macros, and how many calories burned before you even gained the 4 lbs?

OP here, I am not anxious or stressed though


If you are tracking all your calories, macros, steps, etc. then yes you are anxious and maybe have OCD or disordered eating. You are in your 20s and 120 something pounds. Why are you obsessing about this?

I have gained 4 pounds now, 2 more this week despite eating the exact same cals each day and same exercise. I understand weight fluctuates but I am confused as to why this has been going on for 4 weeks. Could this actually be fat? My belly feels bigger than usual(like bloat how I feel the week before my period). I am waiting for results on thyroid and waiting to get hormones tested as well. Any idea of what could this be? Could it really be fat?


Maybe your period will come soon

Look at your salt intake,
Eat asparagus a natural diuretic.
Drink lots of water. Counterintuitive but yes.

OP here. I am not sexually active so not pregnant

This is the problem. You need to mellow out and more sex if the perfect solution

OP here. Have you ever heard of someone being stuck in PMS? It’s so annoying to have all these uncomfortable symptoms for 4 weeks now with no end in sight
