Water weight after a cheat meal: +2.3kg overnight. Talk me down

I am a personal trainer. I know this is water. I have explained this to approximately 200 clients. I had sushi and a lot of soy sauce last night and the scale says +2.3kg and I have been standing in my bathroom for 5 minutes doing maths on how many calories that would actually be.

(It would be 17,000 calories. I did not eat 17,000 calories of sushi. I think.)

Anyway. Post your most ridiculous overnight scale number so I feel better.

+3.1 after a Chinese. Was back to normal in 3 days. I was certain I had broken physics.

The soy sauce is the whole thing. 1 tablespoon is like 900mg of sodium. You did not eat sushi, you drank a salt lick.

This is why I do not look at the daily number. But for you, special occasion: +2.3 is a Tuesday. It will be gone by Thursday. Go do your maths on the weekly average instead.

Pizza + period week once gave me +2.8 and I cried in my kitchen. Gone in 5 days. The body is a ridiculous machine.
