Why do I weigh less in the morning?

The reason for the change in weight has to do with your hormones. Your body is constantly changing internally due to age, stress, exercise, hydration level, amount of sleep, sodium intake. But you also have to remember that once you have your period the cycle starts all over again in your body begin prepping for your next cycle. Thus the change in weight throughout the day. As for the difference between morning and evening. When you are at a verticle stance your heart has to pump harder to get the blood and excess fluid back up from the body parts that are below heart level. (i.e. swollen feet from a long day of standing). Versus when horizontal gravity isnt fighting your heart anymore so blood and fluids can travel much much easier through the body alowing the bidy to be efficient and eliminate the excess fuild (water weight).

Because poop.

Hi all.

So here is another related question. Let's say you weight 60kgs at 7am when you wake up, you eat or drink nothing and at 8am you weigh more?

Thanks
Nick

Your weight will naturally change throughout the day.

You weigh less in the morning simply because you are dehydrated and do not have food in your system.

DUring the day you eat and drink throughout the day and therefore you will weigh more because there is more stuff in your system. When you sleep, you aren't eating or drinking and therefore you have less food within your system and you are getting dehydrated causing you to weigh less in the morning.

You don't magically evaporate fat throughout the night.

so umm.. where does the weight go assuming you dont urinate or defecate?

Doesn't it have something to do with fat cells? Can't they expand and shrink and weigh differently. Your question is why do you weigh less in the morning if you haven't released anything in your body. It could be because of fat cell sizes, maybe?

Not all food you eat remains in your digestive system. It is used by your body as energy. Your body also constantly gains and loses water weight throughout the day by breathing, sweating, etc.

you lose weight thru breathing believe it or not... every exhale contains molecules much like how a car loses gas thru the exhaust pipe.. people think they lose body fat thru sweating its when they breathe.

Bottom line, who cares...weight fluctuates day to day and throughout a given day. It's completely natural...stop stressing about it...just understand that it's natural and it's not within your control. You have water retention/release...timing of food in/food out...etc.
