That's the difference between real information and noise

numbers on the scale fat is not water and water is not fat,

as you have seen. Fat comes and goes very slowly.

So now you know that the numbers on the scale can't have
meaning in such a small time scale, stop weighing more than
once per day. Educational experience that you never need to
repeat.


Thanks, yeah I understand that it is water content, but was very
surprised that it was so much. Also surprising since I am sure I read
that it is better to weigh yourself in the evening. Really, it seems
that the morning is a better time..
