Except for short term water weight, there is a lag time of more than a day between eating and effect. To lose a pound of body mass you need a calorie deficit of 3500, which is usually accrued across a few days. My weight yesterday was a pound higher than 2 days earlier, so I ignored it; it is just a fluctuation that isn't body mass. I only ate about 3000 calories total on the two days, so I could not have eaten 3500 excess calories. In fact I am quite certain I ate less than I burned and the drop will show up within a few days.
