Can One Bad Meal Make You Gain 5 Pounds?

Hey beautiful human! Let's talk about that gut-punch moment we've all had… You step on the scale after a big meal, a holiday weekend, or a night out—and boom. It's up 3, 4, maybe even 5 pounds. Cue the panic: "Did I just ruin all my progress?" Here's the truth: one meal can't make you gain five pounds of fat—it's not scientifically possible. But what the scale does reflect might surprise you… and in this bonus episode, I'm breaking it all down. We're getting into: The math behind fat gain and why 5 pounds overnight just isn't real What's actually happening in your body when the scale jumps Why trying to "make up for it" with cardio or restriction backfires The exact steps to take after a big meal to support your body (and your mindset) How to stop fearing food and finally ditch the all-or-nothing guilt spiral If the number on the scale has ever messed with your head, this episode is going to help you breathe easier, think clearer, and stay consistent—without the shame spiral. 🎧 Want more on staying consistent without the stress?
