Best time to get on scale?

ammient3

Hello, I've heard so many different answer's... When is the best time to weight yourself? First thing in the morning? After breakfast? After exercising? Mid day? After dinner? Evening exercise? OR right before bed??? I am really clueless on this and I would love to update my weight with the correct pounds....HELP please with any input!!! Thanks

First thing in the morning is my vote.

I've always heard first thing in the morning after using the bathroom and completely naked, before you eat breakfast. Apparently, it's the most accurate measurement of weight during the whole day.

I like first thing in the morning because it's when I weigh the least. But, honestly, I think it probably doesn't matter as long as you do it at the same time whenever you weigh yourself.

I say first thing in the morning (maybe after going to the bathroom), because that's when you'll get the reading closest to your actual weight -- no food digesting, no liquids, etc. They say body weight fluctuates up to 2 pounds in a day.
