When to Weigh

Best Practices

Same time each day (morning is best)

Same conditions (after bathroom, before eating)

Same scale for consistency

Same clothes (or none)

Frequency

Daily: See patterns (weight fluctuates!)

Weekly: Less noise, clearer trends

As desired: No wrong answer

Understanding Fluctuations

Weight varies day-to-day due to:

Water retention

Sodium intake

Carbohydrate intake

Hormonal changes

Bowel movements

Time of day

Focus on trends, not individual readings.
