Average <i>reported</i> undesired weight gain.<p>I’m not registering and logging in to learn about the data source (evil), but it sounds like it could have come from a Facebook quiz.

That graph is provoking but not that insightful without a comparison to how the numbers look outside the pandemic. Plus the &#x27;undesired&#x27; weight gain part of the question likely biases this to people only providing an answer if they&#x27;ve gained quite a lot of weight, small amounts of weight gain may have gone unnoticed by many, i.e. a sampling bias - emphasising the need for a fair comparison.

&gt; As of February 2021, millennials in the United States reported an average undesired weight gain of 41 pounds since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This statistic illustrates the average undesired weight gain reported by adults in the United States since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic as of February 2021 by demographic.<p>$59&#x2F;month for access to high quality data such as this is a no-brainer!

I actually have watched multiple colleagues of mine gain weight over this period. I was pretty surprised when I saw them back I&#x27;m the office. Just my anecdata

These numbers seem absurd. Am I missing something?
