A week of careful calorie counting and gained weight!

I'm using the fitbit app. I've checked my TDEE/BMR independently and aimed for a 500 calorie deficit. And I've kept to that.

I run every other day, only 5-6k at the moment as just starting again after injury.

I started at 13st 1lb and this week I've gained 1lb! It's a bit demoralising! Any tips?

It's probably inflammation due to running again. It will settle down. Carry on and drink lots
