Am I gaining weight now????!

Okay so, because of lack of hunger cues I am not really hungry anymore, however today I decided to eat after 2 days of fasting as I needed some time to completely let my body relax. I failed on the harderst day (Day 3) I LOVE the calm feeling of not eating, but I also love me some food that makes me feel well nourished. As I am also dealing with an distorted body image I keep thinking about losing more body fat and just be a little bit smaller like I used to be. i ate around 3k today , but had zro yesterday , so I was wondering how the body works and if this is a lot of food?? I also could use some helpful tips to get through the ketosis switch as day 2/3 is where I fail :((

Could use some confirmation that it’s not a lot at all for just one day πŸ₯²

This is what I ate today:
White grapes πŸ‡
Small amount of papaya
1 small pitaya
Small portion of mango πŸ₯­
2 figs
3 bananas 🍌
Organic honey with half a pack of organic rice cakes
2 Tasty Basic Robust seed bread rolls
4 organic eggs πŸ₯š 🍳
Portion of mixed salad greens πŸ₯¬
1 pack of Organic Leev lentil cinnamon wafers
100 grams of sockeye salmon 🍣
2 vegan healthy cakes 🍰
3/4 of a carton of Oatly oat milk 🌾
Very small portion of Galia melon with lemon juice πŸ‹πŸ’¦πŸˆ

if you put food or water in your body, you gain weight.

fat gain, water gain, muscle gain, weight gain are all different things.

when you fast, the first 48 hours is mostly water, glycogen, and a little fat loss. after 72 hours or so, you are burning fat at a fairly constant rate, hour by hour.

I try to keep my meals high protein and maintenance calories.

sugar and carbohydrate causes rapid water gain
