Makes plenty of sense, if you’re tracking your weight of course you’ll see variation through the day, but over multiple days? No. You’re losing tenths of a pound at a time.
That’s the indicator.
If you’re on the wrong track you don’t want to find out 21,000 calories later.
- silisili 4y agoIf a person burns 2000k at rest, and eats a 1500k a day, we could expect this person to lose 1lb every 1 week, give or take. It's completely possible this person would see swings as much as 2lb up and down over that week. This tells them absolutely nothing about whether they are eating enough to lose weight or not. I'm not saying every day weighing is useless, as it still covers the necessary bases. Just that it doesn't tell you a ton in the short term, or not appreciably more than weekly weighing. I've swung 4lbs in a single day. How can that possibly jive with daily weighing in a way that makes any sense? If you're someone locked on your diet and just tracking, it's probably fine. If you're someone tuning your diet, you're gonna make a lot of really bad decisions based on daily data.
