A) sorry if we're not allowed to ask our questions here. I can delete.

B) if we are allowed to ask questions then I'm just here to ask any thoughts on why walking 10k+ steps a day - including lots of stairs - and eating mostly meat, veggies, and rice for the last three weeks resulted in a gain of three pounds?

Walking doesn't really burn all that much calories, you likely overestimated how many calories you burnt and underestimated how many calories you took in.
