More of a vent than anything else...I haven't changed my diet (maybe a 100 calorie surplus on a couple of days from an extra scoop or protein at night), and yet I've bloated up with 2-3lbs of water weight over the last couple of days. No extra carbs, no extra sodium. Just, boom, water.
Maybe it's getting less sleep, maybe it's hormones and I don't realize it, but man, my science brain just wishes my body would act the way I expect it to. Lol.
Anyone else out there with random bloat frustrations?

Has your water intake changed?
I find that if my water intake changes significantly (goes up or down)...I'll retain a couple lbs of water the next day. Once my intake stabilizes, I lose the water weight.Workout Log / Chat thread...Embrace the Dragon: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=169711903

PMS? I gain 3-4 about 3 days before I start, and drop it all the day after

My cycle is never normal so it could very well be PMS.
Good point about water intake. I've been working more so probably haven't been drinking as much as I usually do.
