The best time to check your weight is first thing in the morning, after you've used the restroom but before you eat or drink anything.
This practice provides the most consistent and accurate weight measurement due to the following reasons:
- Consistency: Weighing yourself at the same time each day helps minimize fluctuations caused by food intake, hydration levels, and activity.
- Empty Stomach and Bladder: After sleeping, your body has had time to digest food and process fluids. Emptying your bladder and bowels ensures you're weighing primarily your body mass, rather than the weight of undigested food or retained water.
- Minimized External Factors: By weighing yourself before eating or drinking, you eliminate the immediate impact of these factors on your weight.
In summary, establishing a routine of weighing yourself first thing in the morning under the same conditions allows you to track weight changes more effectively and get a more accurate understanding of your progress.
