Bathroom scales

pretty simple: what is the most accurate bathroom scale? I just want something with less than half a pound margin of error.

this morning
>get up
>take a shit
>172.8
>oh well
>20 minutes later
>take a tiny smaller shit
>172.4
>oh alright
>hour later, after eating nothing
>take mid-sized shit
>172.8

the thing isn't accurate at all and I don't really trust it now. It also seems to round to the last measurement for some reason. All I want is something mostly accurate so I can monitor my calorie intake better for the most efficient weight loss.

so, recommendations?

Find yourself a cheap balance beam scale on craigslist. I got mine for $40

is pretty good

Sounds like you have 2 problems here op, 1, you shit way too much, 2, you weigh way too often. Get your shit straight faggot

I don't have room for it.

1. I agree, today was weird. I normally shit once a day, let alone 3-4 times in the span of an hour.

2. Weighing after you shit isn't normal? Just trying to get accurate bodyweight.

take your weight 3 times immediately before and after each shit.

any digital scale that has any accuracy to it will be extremely expensive or large or even both.
Shove the fucker in the corner somewhere and bring it out once a week like you're supposed to.

If the scale you are using is that close every time you weigh it’s fine. Does your true 100% accurate weight matter if the trend is going in the right direction?Weighing anymore than once a week is pointless.

>2. Weighing after you shit isn't normal? Just trying to get accurate bodyweight.
You should really only weigh yourself once a week and you want to be consistent, such as sunday morning after you've had your coffee and morning shit.

Seconding this as being the most accurate by far.
Find space for it.
Throw away all your gay porn if you have to.

>weigh your self three times in the morning
>take average
>do this every day and get your weekly average
>check progress week by week

it's not that hard lad

>I just want something with less than half a pound margin of error.

>he's at that 'phase' of trying-not-to-be-a-fatass
>oh god why
I suppose you're weighing the 35 calories of broccoli you're eating, too? LOL

Listen, kid: YOU DO NOT NEED TO WEIGH YOURSELF UNIRONICALLY EVERY FUCKING DAY, YOU ONLY NEED TO WEIGH YOURSELF ONCE A WEEK. Wait for Saturday or Sunday morning, when you don't have to be anywhere right away, wait to take a full dump (or several full dumps, as the case may be, so your gut is empty) THEN weigh yourself; THAT IS NOW YOUR 'OFFICIAL' WEIGHT FOR THE END-WEEK.

Now GTFO of here and stop being such a fucking autist about this.

That's my point though, I shit 3 times today and two measurements were identical, despite there being at least a quarter pound of shit in the loo

Today was that day jfc is no one paying attention to the part where I had supposedly gained half a pound after two shits?

>more autism
*sigh*
Listen, dumb kid: You're sperging out too much about a goddamned HALF A POUND.

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING:
>tracking weight loss over MONTHS

How you're standing on the goddamned scale can affect it's accuracy.
Where it's placed on the floor can affect it's accuracy.
If it's an electronic scale, the temperature of the AIR IN THE ROOM can affect it's accuracy.

If you're really going to continue wasting your time sperging about this, then go spend at least $1000 for a pic-related type of scale, and get it professionally calibrated to NIST standards quarterly, which will probably cost you as much as the scale costs every year. Then you can post threads whining about how you're not losing weight fast enough every day and that the calorie estimates from food nutritional data isn't accurate enough, then you can spend thousands of dollars on a lab-grade calorimeter to create your own nutritonal data for foods. Meanwhile the rest of us who are secure in our ability to control our weight don't get so fucking autistic about it, knowing that what happens over MONTHS and YEARS is what's important. But by all means go ahead and continue to drive yourself batshit insane over this if that's what makes you happy, or whatever.

>this projection
Wew

>projection
Oh, please..
I'm 6'4", 195lbs this morning, and based on DXA scans of the past, that puts my bodyfat percentage down below 10%. I've got 3 months until race season starts and if I have my way I'll be below 190lbs by then and powering up hills like a champ.

What are you at? 25%? 30%? 40%?

In all seriousness: some of us learned what we needed to learn to take control of our body composition a long time ago and you should LISTEN to us instead of continuing to bleat like retarded sheep about shit that doesn't matter.

No you should weigh yourself daily and analyse the data accordingly

Your weight fluctuates throughout the day you spaghetti autist

Probably 19%. I bought this scale years ago and wanted to know if there were more accurate scales. Jfc dude I've already lost 65 lbs in the last 2 years alone.

>autism

Truth

If you haven't got the clue yet: I USED TO BE YOU. Been there, done all that, LISTEN TO WHAT I'M TELLING YOU FFS.

Bro, all you had to say is "there are no affordable scales that are also accurate". No need to go into a 7 paragraph rant

You wanna shit talk that guy for autism then post this lmao

Oh so it's autistic to do something the best way. Forgive me I had thought op had asked how to get accurate results

Ya monkey

Unironically correct.

£20 electronic scales are perfectly fine

If I weigh myself a few times in the morning one day, is it safe to say the lowest number is what I write down?

No. Weighing yourself multiple times per day is getting silly. Once every morning after the same sequence of events as usual eg before eating and after a shit is when I weigh myself

Triple beam balance + data smoothing over several days worth of measurements to unfuck your results from your inability to stand on your scale perfectly consistently.
