Wondering if eating low sodium the day before a weigh in makes it more accurate? Any thoughts on this? I weigh in on sundays usually, but thinking of changing to mondays since saturday meals (especially dinner) are usually high sodium..

    I don't know about "accurate" - I mean, you weigh what you weigh, water-weight included - but if you're after the lowest number on the scale then yeah, you might want to have it be a day or two after the highest sodium meals of the week.

    Thanks! I never thought about it like that.. I suppose I eat really healthy throughout the week, so I wasnt sure If that was doing any thing to weigh in after a high salt meal.. :-)

    didn't specify what time on sunday. And unless you're eating a very significant amount and drinking plenty of water WITHOUT expelling it it won't affect you that much. It'll be like the usual difference that you'd get from an overnight fluctuation

    Forgive me youre right.. I always weigh in first thing in the morning, before breakfast or my green tea. And no.. I do not binge lol.. I eat in portion size still. I just eat so clean all week, so I wanst sure.. haha
