When is it more accurate to weigh yourself?

Weighing yourself is crucial for anyone who wants to lose weight. Many people sometimes don't want to tell others how much they really weigh. There is a girl in the dormitory who weighs herself as soon as she wakes up every morning and records her weight every day. Many people feel that their weight is sometimes inaccurate, so how and when should they measure their weight to get the most accurate result? Let us take a look at it together below.

When is the most accurate time to weigh yourself?

Everyone's life patterns are different, and the time to weigh yourself is also different. For an individual, you should weigh yourself regularly during weight loss, and each time should be at the same time, such as after getting up or taking a shower, or after defecating, so that the accuracy is less likely to be affected. To maintain your weight, you can weigh yourself once a day so that you can detect changes in your weight in time and take targeted measures.

Which is better, a traditional scale or an electronic scale?

The best is a traditional balance-style scale. In comparison, electronic scales have the highest error. Electronic items are greatly affected by the environment, and bumps and collisions can cause the readings to deviate.

How can I use a digital scale more accurately?

Electronic weighing scales should generally be placed on a hard, flat floor and never on carpets or other soft surfaces.

Always put the scale in the same place, at the same time, and wear the same clothes every time you weigh yourself.

Water weight - the weight of all the water in your body, including water in your bloodstream, water in your digestive tract, and water held in the various cells of your body's tissues.

Fat weight – All the fat in your body. Fat is not only found in areas where fat is easily deposited (such as the thighs, inner sides of the arms, and abdomen), but also in and around the body's important organs. There is fat in the muscles, and unfortunately there is also fat in the walls of the arteries, veins and inside the heart muscle. Lipids are the basic building blocks of fats and are found in almost all cells in the body. Fat is a type of tissue in the body that contains very little water.

Lean body mass – the weight of your body other than water weight and fat mass, such as muscle, hair, bone, cartilage, and other tissue.

It is normal to have different weight in the morning and evening. This is because weight is affected by the water and food retained in the body. Weighing yourself before breakfast is closer to your true weight.

In fact, there is no need to weigh yourself every day. Once every six months is enough. Frequent weighing can easily lead to inaccurate and fluctuating weight. So there is no need for everyone to develop such a habit. If you want to keep your weight constant, you have to start with things in your life, such as developing good eating habits, eating three meals a day on time, and not overeating.
