Ate salty food and woke up heavier? It's water, not fat
Salt pulls water into your body, so a salty meal can push the scale up by 1-2 kg for a day or two. That jump is water holding zero calories, not real fat, and it leaves on its own.

I ate one salty meal and woke up 1 kg heavier, so I must have gained fat.
mostly false
Mostly false. The salt pulled extra water into your body, and water holds zero calories. Real fat needs about 7700 kcal for each kilo, and you did not eat that much in one meal. The water leaves on its own in a day or two.
