Weight gain after workout?
Recently at work they have put me on a bike. I get about 20 miles in on the days I’m biking. After the day I am constantly 2 pounds heavier and have not changed my eating or foods. I can only think of that my water intake is not enough but I’m not sure why this is happening. Any ideas?

Everyone gains weight over the course of the day. Overnight, your body burns calories and dehydrates (which is why you often have to use the bathroom in the morning). Weighing yourself in the morning will give you the most accurate measurement. Also, we often gain weight after we exercise due to water retention and inflammation of the muscles (and some other factors). It's healthy and normal. Keep up the good work!
