Answers:
Its water weight. Typically thats either salt or carbs. If your healthy diet is low on carbs and you get tons of sugar then you will have extra glycogen in your body. Glycogen will let 3-4 times its weight in water hang around. So eating a pound of fries and chocolate and ice cream could make you gain 5 lbs.Health Question & Answer
What kind of junk are you eating.?
If you are eating salty foods, such as french fries, the sodium content is causing you to retain water.
Don't worry about the scale. It is impossible to gain 5lbs overnight - heck, even 1lb is pretty damn hard (unless you ate 3500 cals over your limit).
Drink plenty of water, and the retention should go away in time.Health Question & Answer

It has to be water retention. Salty junk food will make you retain water, also they make you thirsty. If you don't normally drink water, it will make u retain even more.
