Why does your weight fluctuate so much each day?

Is a daily weight fluctuation normal? If you weigh yourself every
morning, you probably notice that the number on the scale can
change significantly from one day to the next. Sometimes the
reason for the daily weight fluctuation is obvious. Perhaps you
indulged in a big meal before bedtime that resulted in weight
gain or had a very sweaty workout that resulted in weight loss.
But there are other reasons that weight fluctuations occur from
day to day.


If you are trying to lose weight or change your body composition,
you might be tempted to believe that the daily weight fluctuation
is due to fat loss or fat gain. And that is a possibility.


There are many other factors that affect your weight from day to
day.
