Is my scale broken?

I got a new scale for my birthday- a Taylor digital scale (model 7075 8-03). I've been working out every day at Bally's, I'm eating correctly, drinking lot's of water. I recently added raisin bran to my diet- though I ate it tonight around 8pm, two hours after my workout. I put non-fat milk in it so I don't see the problem there. But my scale told me I was 223 when I came home from working out (Im 5'11 by the way). After I ate I was 227. I'm thinking- How did I gain 4 pounds by eating raisin bran and a 6" turkey sub on wheat? Hours later, I check the scale and I'm 226. Five minutes later I'm 227 again. I don't understand how my weight keeps jumping up and down. This scale is new so I don't know why it would be acting up. And suggestions or ideas?
I don't go to sleep till after Midnight so eating at 8pm is fine with me. I'm a night owl. I still wake up 10:30 or 11am though.

Weight fluctuates throughout the day. Like me, I am 5'5" and in the morning I will weigh around 106 and my weight will fluctuate between that # and 112 throughout the day. It has to do with the fact that you eat and drink liquids. It's fine. Don't worry- you did not actually gain 4 pounds in one day.
