I’ve been losing roughly 1lb a day for a few days and I’m concerned if there’s something wrong with me or if it’s just bloating/water weight that I’m losing.

Hi there U1191321039-
Are you intentionally trying to lose weight or have you noticed you are losing without trying? If you are losing weight without trying please make an appointment with your doctor to rule out underlying medical concerns.
If you are intentionally trying to lose weight I'd suggest the following:
1. Strive to follow the calorie budget suggested in the app. The MyNetDiary app takes the guesswork out of designing a calorie budget for weight loss.
2. Turn on the auto-pilot feature in the app. This will adjust your calories based on the rate you are losing. This will help ensure you aren't losing too fast. You can find this in settings.
3. Strive to eat 3 balanced meals each day. Here is a resource that can help you meet your nutrient needs: https://www.mynetdiary.com/foods-nutrient-needs.html
4. Pay attention to how you feel. In addition to focusing on the number on the scale, how do your clothes fit? How is your energy level? Are you sleeping better? These are important metrics to pay attention to. If you find you are lethargic and hungry, increase what you are eating. Here are some snack ideas that can help: https://www.mynetdiary.com/superfoods-for-your-immune-system-try-these-20-immune-boosting-snacks-at-less-than-150-calories-each.html
5. Finally, this guide can help you find a routine for checking your progress on the scale:
