I’m on a weight loss diet right now and it always really frustrates me. I guess I do eat a bit more than usual but 2 pounds (maybe 3?) that’s just weird. But i’d like to know if there’s a scientific reason.

Some of it is from bloating, however it is normal to fluctuate 2 or so pounds from day to day.
