Why do I look fatter at night?

Question

Im not obese I am 13% body fat. if you are going to be an idiot go answer somewhere else.

Answer 1

It's water weight. You can gain 2-3 pounds throughtout the day by the water you drink. At night you expell it by exhaling and sweating.

This page gives an explanation of the same question you're asking: http://health.howstuffworks.com/question227.htm

Also, if you're swallowing air throughout the day you'll get bloated (sometimes it's just a habit you don't notice, or if you drink through a straw alot)

Anyway, it's perfectly normal.

Answer 2

Maybe because at the end of the day, you are soo concern with your weight that you automatically think that you look fatter at night as what you look like in the morning. It is all the way you perceive yourself. Maybe you make yourself look thinner in the morning before you go to work and then you see how you really are when you take everything off.

Answer 3

Aw, don't listen to those rude jerks who are saying those stupid remarks. A lot of times if I go off my diet and eat food that I know I shouldn't and I feel really fat. And usually that is at night,....I'm sorry that I can't exactly help you but, maybe its in your head. I think I have the same problem as well.

Answer 4

When you first wake up in the morning, you are fully rested, and your skin is a lot tighter.

As the day goes on, your body gets more tired, and doesn't tuck everything in as well.

One of the main reasons why people get bags under their eyes after not getting much rest... your face is sagging.

Answer 5

You are tallest when you first wake up. During the day, your spine contracts up to an inch. Also, throughout the day you are eating and filling up your stomach and intestines. The combination makes someone look larger than they were that morning. Thats why you weigh yourself in the morning.

Answer 6

6-10 hours sleep/fasting = thin...relatively of course!
16+ hours of awake/eating/drinking = more of you to go around.
Simple math. Try fasting for longer than 6-10 hours and you will be even more impressed with the difference. But that is not healthy and I am not encouraging it.

Answer 7

whenever you eat your body stores water so during the day your eating so your body is storing water and during the night when you dont eat it no longer stores the water so your body gets rid of alot of it by sweat or by bathroom. that is also why you weigh less in the morning. and why people on reduced calorie diets lose weight fast at first, they are really no longer gaining water weight from as much food.

Answer 8

That happens with everyone. The answer is simple you eat throughtout the day and its night. So you do the math. Same thing isnt it? When you wake up do you think your skinner or fatter? THE ANSWER IS SO EASYY!

Answer 9

Basically, because you've eaten throughout the day. In the morning, when you first get up, your stomach is basically empty, so you seem thinner. At night, you have already done most of, if not all of, your eating for the day, so your stomach is full. No one else notices it, though, so don't sweat it.

Answer 10

Shadows,probably.
