I went for three days where on day one: one snickers bar, bottle

Your weight changes day to day, but in the long term you will gain or lose weight depending on how much you eat and burn. If you eat less calories than you burn in a day, you will lose weight in the long term. Ideally you lose 2-8 lbs per month, no more.

I'm guessing you put on water weight, which is easily lost or gained. Do not try to "sweat out" the water weight or drink less in order to lose it. That will not cause you to lose weight in the long term and is actually unhealthy. Continue making healthy decisions, dieting and working out towards a healthy weight loss.

Hah it's not water weight, it's a noticeable increase in my body fat that others have noticed

You simply cannot put on a noticable amount of body fat in three days. Body fat is gained or lost in the long term. Bloating, which is mostly caused by fluids, can give the appearance of body fat gain. However, it is simply water. I would completely disregard any weight changes that happen in three days or less. Instead, track your long-term weight change over months and years.

Your body was "starving" for calories.

When your body hits that point, it goes in to preservation mode. Any calories ingested are stored as fat.

One of the key ways to lose weight is to eat several times a day (healthy snacks in small quantities).
