Is it possible to weigh more than your last meal?

Example;

Say one weighs 125 lbs.

That night, they eat a big meal (food + water) and they now weigh 126 lbs.

After the absorption process, would it be possible for that person to weigh anything >126 lbs the next day prior to eating?

    Well weight will fluctuate during the day, anyway. But if you go to sleep at 126lbs then usually you will wake up with less weight, normally less water weight, though. So say you wake up at 120lbs. You may have lost weight, but it will most likely be water weight.

    However, that doesn't give you a license to eat whatever. If the next week you wake up at 121lbs chances are you gained fat, too.

    No I wouldn't think so unless they somehow ate while they were sleeping(lol). The only place that the food and water you absorbed is going is to be deconstructed and reconstructed into something else. You wouldn't weigh more, you'd probably weigh less(sweat, bathroom, etc.). If the scale said you weighed more you probably wore heavier clothing or the scale is broken.
