Weigh before/after toilet visit?

Gael23

My PT wants me to weigh myself before eating but after doing a poo.
Normally for me I eat my breakfast and then I’m on the toilet.

Is there any way I can get things moving a little earlier in the morning?

Sounds like they're being a little pedantic if it's just for tracking weight. Unless there's a reason why it needs to be specifically before eating but after the morning evacuation, just do it first thing before anything.

So once it’s at a consistent time it doesn’t matter?

they must think you do massive poos

If you are taking things this seriously you should establish what the relative accuracy of your scales is and also the repeatability.
You will probably find that the repeatability accuracy is probably in the same range as the weight of a poo.

Yes I imagine we’re talking half a pound at most

As long as you do it at the same time everyday. the weight I take as my actual weight is before my gym session on a Wednesday evening. I've eaten roughly the same as I do every other day at that point. I've had my pre gym banana, and I've had my daily poo.

I also weigh myself 3 times and take the average.

I do the same, works out more consistently

Once you're consistent is the main thing. When I did a sport that required weigh in's, I was surprised the difference a good dump could make though!

Once...they emptied all the ****e out of COH and he was only 55kg.

Pears for poo's!!
as ripe as you can eat it.

Seriously??? your PT needs to focus more on the myriad of other in-play factors he should instead be considering here.....

If for some reason you did want to humour their daft notions then why don't you just weigh an average sized deposit and then routinely deduct this value going forwards.

You're full of ..it?

I don’t eat a lot of fruit actually. How long does it need to ha e the desired result?

Everyone's different but maybe to get started you could eat two?
I'd say an hour max to get things moving.

Eat at same time every morning.

For max movement eat a bowl of shreddies before the pears.

Or two or three apples.

Had a small evacuation after eating dinner and the difference in my weight was 35g.
It was a small one though

Wake up, weigh yourself, have breakfast and have a dump.

There is no need to know your pre-food, post-dump weight. Once you're weighing yourself under the same conditions, you can track progress.

Unless you're a jockey, in which case you shouldn't be eating.

Plus a lb of prunes.
You'll be grand.

My personal trainer wanted the same from me except he was just taking the pi$$.
