As far as your recent Weight Gain, There could be many different explanations. I seriously doubt that you gained 3#'s of muscle overnight, While in a Calorie Deficit. Cliff

Also, three pounds is not a big swing on weight gain, could be just water weight from getting too much sodium. Give it a few days and re-weigh yourself. Don't count out lean muscle mass, it's the biggest spender of calories in your body. A little can make a big difference.
