Why am I gaining weight

Question

Hey guys. This was my first week working out and I’m super unmotivated. 
I started at 240 and I would have been fine if it stayed the same but it went up. Two pounds. I go to the gym Tuesdays and Fridays for strength training and some cardio. I’ve been eating less than I used to and I’ve been using lose it to track my calories and I’ve been staying under all week. 
Why am I gaining weight? I’d recently jumped from 235 to 240 and I have no clue why I have all of this unexplained weight gain. 
I’ll check back again next week and see what happens. 
Didn’t expect this to happen at the start of my journey.

Answer

You could be gaining muscle. Or you’re eating too little and causing your body to store fat

Answer

Are you eating differently? Are you close to your period? Are you drinking more water?
I gain and loose 5 pounds every month due to my period 🤷🏻‍♀️ plus eating less/more and changing the stuff you eat and the times you eat can cause weight fluctuation. Constantly drinking more water definitely makes your weight fluctuate.
The best time of day to weigh yourself is in the morning, after peeing, and before eating or drinking. 😊

Answer

i don’t know if this is right but i read somewhere that when you lose weight, the fat cells fill with water which weighs more than fat and when the water empties, you will weigh less

Answer

You definitely want to be careful with portion sizes if your trying to lose weight, but by eating less, are you eating an unhealthy amount? What type of foods are you eating? Salty foods make you retain water more which would make you add water weight and feel bloated. Also, muscle weighs more than fat, so take that into account if you’re working out now! Another tip: look into a ketogenic diet. I lost 40lbs on keto and I have honestly never felt better in my entire life.
