Had a week where my scale dropped 4 pounds and my mood tanked
I was stoked about the weight loss from my new meal plan until I realized I was just dehydrated and actually losing muscle, so now I'm questioning if my whole 'calorie deficit is king' belief is even real has anyone else had a number on the scale mess with their head like that?

My buddy Sam once gained five pounds from a new protein powder and still swore by it.

You're saying "calorie deficit is king" isn't real, but that's like saying gravity is fake because you tripped. A 4 pound drop from dehydration doesn't disprove thermodynamics, it just means your tracking was sloppy. Did you adjust your water and sodium intake before blaming the entire concept of energy balance?
