    Unhappy Weight after being sick??

    Hey guys, i am kinda new to this forum but not new to bodybuilding, my question is that about 2 weeks ago i came down with a cold and got quite sick and throwing up a couple of times. Over the three days that i was throwing up i was consuming only 2000 cals-2500 cals a day than compared to my normal intake of 4500 a day to maintain 165lbs. So as i got better the next week i went from averaging 2500 cals that week to 5000 cals for the next week and i weighed myself at the end of that week and found that i lost 5lbs...yes 5lbs and from eating more than ever!! Is this possible? Maybe i had lost like 10lbs when i was sick and put some weight back on..i really don't know any help or ideas thanks guys!!
    NOTE: i have a very quick metabolism.

    Sounds most likely to me. Plus, you may have lost some water weight. Don't worry about it too much, just focus on gaining it back.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    Water weight is one of the first things that is lost when we get sick, or so I've been told. You'd be surprised how much water weight we do actually carry. But like CowPimp said, don't stress, just get the diet and training back on track and you'll be loving it

    The human body is something like 70% water, so there is a lot of room for weight loss there.

    yup water weight and muscle glycogen are the first to go
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.
