I know that you weight changes throughout the day depending on a whole bunch of factors. What is the best time or method to weigh yourself? I was thinking about just weighing myself twice a day and then just averaging them.

In the morning after you wake up and go to the bathroom! Usually the best time because you havent eaten or drunk anything yet.
Works best for me.

I weigh first thing in the morning,,after a potty break ,,that is going to be your lowest weight time,,during the day and nightly you have the weight of your food and water from the day...
And I never weigh in my clothes...
Good luck..0 -

I weigh myself once a week in the morning immediately after using the bathroom. I also do this around the same time which is normally 6:30 ish.0

I don't think there is a "best" time of day, as long as you stay consistent. So if you start weighing in the morning, keep weighing in the morning.
Here's a neat article I found on the topic... which does say to weigh in the morning is more accurate...
