Best Time to Weigh-In

I know the best time to weigh-in is in the morning before you eat breakfast, once a week blah blah blah. My question is... do you think it's bad that my weigh-in days are scheduled for the morning after I rest? Meaning, I work out 6 days a week and then have one day of rest, and the next day is my weigh-in day right after a day of doing nothing. Will that affect my weigh-ins negatively?

    That's usually what I do because then it gives my body/muscles some time to heal up and let all that water that it's been retaining go.

    I dont think it matters what day you do it. I cant imagine you would be heavier on your rest day, unless you eat stuff that would make you retain water. I always do mine on friday morning since I tend to slack on the weekends.

    If you're consistently doing it after a rest day, then your result should be similar. As long as you're keeping the situation the same every time you weight in, your results should be fairly accurate.

    No as long as you are consistent and weigh in at the same time on a similar day (which is what you're doing) you should be fine. Each one should do what works for them, most people tell me that I shouldn't weigh myself every day but that's what works for me, I find that if the scale goes down it motivates me and if it goes up it makes me pay more attention to what I eat the next day.
