Earlier this week I walked 6 miles, and the next day I woke up feeling fatter than ever.
Then a couple days ago I ate an entire family-sized bag of Ruffles potato chips (absolutely sinful & wrong, but hey it happened), and ever since then I've been skinny. Flat tummy, feeling energetic for the gym, lifted weights last night (biceps, triceps, lats, delts, spinalis, QL, hamstrings, squats), plus cardio & yoga.
Hooray Ruffles Potato Chips! The miracle fitness aide! /sarcasm
As a certified personal trainer, yoga teacher, & in nutrition, I'm well-versed in fitness & nutrition but baffled why walking six miles would make me feel like a fat cow, but eating junk food would turn me into a skinny workout queen.

So baffled.
Its water. Walking 6 miles is not going to make you lose weight. Eating potato chips is not going to make you lose weight.
Hormones and water retention are what is going on.

You probably hit the nail on the head. I drink at least a gallon of water a day, so it's my body's choice what to do with it once it passes my lips. Hormones are unpredictable too.
"Feeling like a fat cow" is hardly a measurement of anything.

If you were really a certified trainer with real education in the field of exercise science, you would not be baffled by this. I really hope you are not charging people money to train them. If you are, please stop and go to school to get up to speed in the field.

I'm certified in those things because I was passionate about them from about 2011-2014. I have no clients and no desire to go further in the field because 2015 was a rough year, including arthritis or fibromyalgia rearing its ugly head.
I only mentioned my "credentials" because I wanted to avoid receiving any condescending basic nutrition & fitness tips. Been there, done that. I'm 40 and arthritic now. On the downhill slope.
If you don't buy junk food your less apt to eat it.
I'm no trainer but I know that one.
No dead junk food in my house /body.
Believe me, I know. I was a nutrition nazi too before I fell in love with a nutritional-average-joe, and somehow I slipped into him & melted into his eating habits. I miss my rock hard, fit, teenage body, but my man and everything about him is kryptonite to me. Funnily enough, He loved me more when I had a rock hard body when he first met me. So I told him "Then stop presenting me with pizza & potato chips!" We're working on it.

As a personal trainer..and as posted above suggested...perception is often misleading..
Yet with your training SHOULD know this?????????? Did you weigh yourself? Did you bother to do any diagnostic's to maybe answer your question? NOPE..You simply do NOT understand how ones body responds to physical activity..then how it responds to nutritional inputs....and oh..you forget about "Metabolic Variances " of individuals....
But, hey...Personal Trainer..go eat yourself into Junk Food Heaven..and see how your body is in a decade or so!!!!!!!!!! Sure glad I never hired you to personally train me
BTW~~~ YOU SHOULD KNOW..1 day does not make a difference..it's a consistent use of muscles groups, cardiovascular pushing, proper diet to replace EMPTY calories that make a difference. One day of gluttony of empty calories will in of itself make NO DIFFERENCE...and as a profession..YOU DIDN'T know that?? Would love to know if your are credentialed or just self assigned Professional???

If you were certified by an organization that actually required education in the field, you wouldn't have posted what you have been posting.
You would know that one bag of potato chips doesn't not turn you from fat to skinny or skinny to fat. Neither does one six mile walk. You would also know that perception of one's body is not necessarily a true indicator of reality. You would also know the difference between short term fluctuation in weight and changes in body composition and long term changes. You would understand that both scale weight and body composition are in a constant state of flux from one minute to the next.
And if you were really qualified at a high level in the fitness field, you would also understand about random variation and statistical significance when measuring these things.
Where, exactly, were those credentials from?
