Answer 1

You should weigh yourself once per week only, and on that day do it in the morning before breakfast. Any more often than that would indicate that you have an unhealthy complusion about weight, and you should see your doctor.

It's perfectly normal for a person's bodyweight to vary by 3-5 pounds in a given day. If you notice chages week over week, that should be your best judge of whether you are actually gaining or losing weight in the long term.

Answer 2

It is ok that you did not drink or eat anything, But the food you take in your breakfast and lunch is still in your body you might have skipped dinner but the food in your bowls kept on sustaining your body any giving energy. As you did not utilize this energy it converted itself to fat which might have increased your weight in night. Secondly the room temperature plays a vital role in gainig weight as your body is used to gain weight in cold temperatures and reduce weight in warm or hot temperatures.

Answer 3

You could be retaining fluid.

Self-care options
Mild fluid retention can be helped in the following ways:
Reduce the amount of salt in your diet; for instance, don’t add salt during the cooking process and stop salting your meals at the table. Avoid foods like potato chips and salted peanuts. Be wary of processed foods such as manufactured meats, which tend to contain ‘hidden’ salt.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is thought to help in cases of mild fluid retention. Good sources of vitamin B6 include brown rice and red meat.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), calcium and vitamin D help the body to excrete excess fluids. Include fresh fruits and low fat dairy foods in your daily diet.
Make sure to discuss the use of supplements with your doctor or health care professional, particularly if you are on any type of medication.
Drink plenty of water. It may sound contradictory, but a well-hydrated body is less likely to retain fluid.
Cut back on dehydrating drinks such as tea, coffee and alcohol.
Cranberry juice has a mild diuretic action.
Things to remember

Always see your doctor, because oedema can be symptomatic of serious medical conditions such as heart, kidney or liver disease.

Answer 4

Overnight, your body regenerates itself. Therefore you will weigh more in the morning.

I suggest that if you are watching your weight, weigh and record once a week in the morning, only. The body weight fluctuates several times throughout each 24 hours.

Answer 5

Weigh yourself right before bed, and when you wake up for a week. compare the numbers. I too have "Gained "overnight, not sure why, but it seemed to reverse itself the next two days.
