Down 1.8 pounds two days after a salty dinner

I’m in week 11 on tirzepatide, weigh daily, and only trust the 7-day mean. Last Saturday I ate a big bowl of ramen—not a binge, just very salty. Sunday: +2.1 lb. Monday: back to baseline.

Tuesday: -1.8 lb versus Saturday, with no change in appetite, waist tape, or bathroom patterns. My trend line just yawned. Water and glycogen are the obvious explanations, but the two-day lag is the part that feels like a glitch.

Anyone else get a delayed dip after a high-sodium meal, rather than the usual bump?
