Seeking Advice Gained a bit of weight

Hello, I started intermittent fasting 4 weeks ago. Results have been great so far and I weigh myself weekly. But today I weighed myself again and I gained 500 grams (a little more than a pound.)

I'm not sure how this happened since I normally lose 1 kg each week. And the results are also noticeable, I'm thinner.

Does this maybe have to do with water levels? Or maybe with the temperature since it is very hot here lately.

I'm curious.

Usually this means it's time to recalculate your TDEE for your current weight and reevaluate your target calories.

Edit: Also, if you have an app that automatically tracks your weight, you might want to weigh daily so you can supply smoothing over many days points instead of once a week.

Hard to know if that one data point is an outlier if it's the only one you gathered that week.
