How can you weigh more in the afternoon even when you have not eaten anything during they day?

Remember that throughout the day there are two factors that heavily influence weighing more in the afternoon: gravity and hydration. Gravity, during the course of a day, compresses your physical being downward; consequently, all fluids within in the body find a location in your organs, tissues, or cells and wait there until the body is at complete and extended rest (take sleeping as an example). Since all of the fluid is retained in various organs, tissues, and cells, the fluids will make you weigh more. The second factor is hydration. The body is better hydrated in the afternoon than upon waking up, because water is lost during sleep via breathing, which results in dehydration. When the body is dehydrated, the cells and tissues shrink. So, even abstaining from eating will have no effect on weighing more in the afternoon, because gravity and hydration largely determine what numbers are produced on the scale. I hope you found this answer thoughtful and beneficial.

How long after you exercise should you eat?
Exercise isn't relevant to when you weigh in. The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning, before you have eaten anything. Whenever you do weigh in, pick a consistent time of day to get consistent results.
Why do you weigh more at night?
Because you've eaten throughout the day and consumed water or other liquids which adds weight. When you wake in the morning, you haven't had anything in your system for typically 4, 6, 8 hours or more hence you weigh less.
Why does my scale give me 2 diffrnt numbers in one day?
If you weigh yourself in the morning, especially after you've gone to the bathroom, you will weigh less, than if you weigh yourself at night. If you weigh yourself at night or anytime after you have just eaten, you will usually weigh more than you weigh first thing in the morning. You weigh less in the morning because you have gone 6 to 8 hours without food, and while you are sleeping your body has been working to process it. Plus, the water that's in our skin excreted into the air. We lose water retention during the night and that's why we should drink plenty of water during the day. At nighttime, not only do we have the food we've just eaten, but we also have the water retention as well.
