Last week I was asked this question in my email:

'Hi Emma!! I hope you’ve been well!

Weird question for you. I hear all the time from weight loss/fitness coaches that just because the scale goes up a pound, doesn’t mean you’ve gained fat. Because you’d “have to be eating 3500 calories OVER your maintenance”…

But what is happening in the body then when the scale does creep up and doesn’t go back down? No way am I ever eating that many more calories above my maintenance over one, two or even three days. But “weight creep” still happens. And I’m sure that’s how it happens for everyone, right?!

Is it just because you aren’t building or maintaining enough muscle or something?

It’s the one piece of weight gain logic that really confuses me and I feel like I’m experiencing it currently. I’m thinking of trying the commit to 6 to get back into the right mindset around this whole thing.'
