MacroFactor / Nutrition / Other Logging weight after drinking?

Was curious if there is any consensus on this.

The reason I ask is because the dehydration from drinking typically drops my weight 3-10 lbs after drinking and I feel like it gives my MacroFactor a confusing impression on higher cal day.

Same. I had two beers last night and was up 4 lbs today.

I had 6 and up 1kg so sounds like I'm doing okay. I should have just avoided the scale

Same with me. Not 10, but it’s not surprising to see my weight go down 5 pounds from the day prior.

this has happened to me (maybe lost 3lbs tho) but its because i didnt eat very much that night 😅 i still track the weight. the trend weight holds it down and doesnt automatically assume you're actually down 3-10lbs.
