  • Store and use your weight scale on a solid, flat surface. Stand barefoot on your scale, keeping your weight distributed evenly between both feet. Wear little to no clothing when you weigh yourself. Whatever you decide, keep it consistent each time you weigh yourself for better accuracy.

The article from CNET discusses the optimal times for weighing oneself to get the most accurate weight measurements. It highlights that weight can fluctuate throughout the day due to various factors like food intake, hydration levels, and physical activity. For the most precise readings, the article suggests weighing yourself first thing in the morning after using the bathroom, as this is when your body is likely at its lightest due to minimal food and water intake overnight. It also advises against weighing after meals, workouts, or when dehydrated, as these conditions can skew the results. Additionally, the piece recommends consistency in timing and conditions for weighing to track weight changes accurately over time, and it touches on the psychological aspect of weight monitoring, suggesting not to obsess over daily fluctuations but to look at trends over weeks or months.
