Coach Ryan Weighs In On Weight Tracking

AT PF, WE HAVE OUR CLIENTS WEIGH DAILY .... OR ONLY ONCE A MONTH.

When I was learning all this nutrition stuff in my 20s I would weigh myself once a week. This was a HUGE mistake as scale weight can vary by 1-2 kilos A DAY due to water intake, stress, travel, sickness, blood sugar in the tissue, previous night’s food, salt levels, etc.

In other words, weigh yourself on the wrong day, risk completely skewing your perception of what’s happening.

No Bueno.

Here’s the good news:

Fluctuations are perfectly normal and even expected during a fat/weight loss phase.

Fat loss will still happen if you’re eating in a calorie deficit.

On the other hand, weighing in daily can serve to “innoculate” you from this mental and emotional distressing effect.

Also, a body weight that goes up and down on a near daily basis suggests a body in flux (new calorie level) or responding to stress (lack of sleep, too much exercise, etc.).

And after the first 3-4 weeks, all those weigh-ins actually create very useful data to help spot trends.

So do what we suggest our clients to do:

✅ Weigh yourself every day, or

✅ Weigh yourself once a month.

Otherwise, the data is just too weak.

Above all — FOCUS ON THE PROCESS.

Nail your calorie goal, track it somehow (hand portions, myfitnesspal, food journal), and then see how your body reacts.

Because really, that’s the only thing we control – the process.

We don’t control how the body decides to react or how long it takes to respond.
