I wish people would use percentage of weight or BMI points instead of pounds. For one it would save others a conversion, and secondly it would make things comparable. 2.2 Kg in a day seems impossible to me, but for someone else it might be nothing. My max fluctuation is about 1.5%, it happens when there are several factors combined.

BMI is also flawed. According to my BMI, I’m “morbidly obese”. I’m 30 pounds overweight. However when I was 10 pounds less than I am now, I was objectively tone, muscular, and had a body fat percentage of around 10%. Even now, no one (including doctors) look at me and would say that I’m “obese” and need to lose that much weight. At 10 pounds lighter I was wearing 28 regular cut pants. Where would I lose the weight from? I’m 5’5.
