I work third shift 5 days a week off 2. My weigh in day is Saturday. So would I weigh in at night or in the morning?

    Generally in the morning (or in your case when you wake up :wink: ) is the best time to do so.

    Lol I work 3rd shift as well. My shift starts at 1130 and ends at 730 so that basically is my "morning" I usually weigh myself about an hour or 2 before work. I eat breakfast either before my shift or when I get to work. Lunch at about 2 am and dinner at around 8 am after work. With snacks in between. Honestly it also depends on your sleep schedule. Practicing the complete opposite schedule for 23 years sometime's makes sleep consistency difficult. But if I manage to fall asleep between 9am-12noon I sleep 9 hours max and workout when I wake up. I've learned to NEVER workout after work before bed because I can never manage to fall asleep.

    Weigh in after your sleeping time.

    Weigh in once you wake up from sleeping.

    Yeah, your best bet is to weigh in when you wake up. Third shifters unite.
