Re drinking water.
1 calorie is the amount of energy req to heat 1 litre of water 1 degree C.
Body temp is 38 C
Therefore 1 litre of water drank at 5 C and excreted at 38 C needs 33 cals to heat it up.
Drink 4 ltrs a day thats 132 cals
In a week that's 924 cals towards the 7000 deficit.
A free work out by turning your body into a water heater.
Water also helps flush the poisonous enzyme biproduct created by your body when it converts fat to usable energy.

Does drinking water cause weight loss or weight gain?

I’ve read a case be made for both.

I drink a glass of water as soon as I wake up. I drink a glass of water after I have been out for a ride (always in the morning and sometimes I go for a longer ride in the evening). Also, I drink a few small glasses of water during the day.

Am I drinking too much water which will cause me to gain weight?

you are joking right?

you apparently eat less than a thousand calories a day
you apparently drink what 4 ltrs of water a day

and yet, you're barely losing 2lb a week? you're starving your body of anything it actually needs, then come on here to ask if you'll gain weight??

you might damage yourself but you'll certainly not gain weight.

there is so much basic information that would help but you seem to have not listened to a single thing you've been told, you ask on here, get 15 pages of good advice and still manage to come back with some junk you found off google.

An old saying for school kids was......

"A pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter".

Remember though what goes in, eventually comes out, so the net gain and loss of weight through drinking water is zero.

Every thread @LemonJuice has started he seem to overthink, obsess and not understand or want to take the advice.

Ohhps, 1 gram not one litre; :-)

Or did you mean 1000 calories / 1 Calorie (big C, dietitians measure).
