Are manual or digital scales more accurate?

Question

I’m trying to lose weight by eating more healthily and exercising and I’ve lost around 6 pounds now. However my manual scales say I’m lighter than the digital ones and I don’t know which ones are the most accurate. I just want to monitor my weight loss as accurately as possible, can anyone help?

Answer

The only thing that matters is that you use the same scale each time and weigh at the same time. Put the other one away. I use a digital scale at home but if I ever get on a different scale the weight is different.

Answer

Doesn’t matter. Don’t weigh yourself too often or on multiple scales. That can increase your anxiety levels and even cause obsessive thoughts related to your weight.

Answer

I think it depends on the scale, but if you just weigh yourself on the same scale every time, you will get an accurate representation of how much weight you've lost

Answer

It’s normal for different scales to be off a bit. 
I use a digital scale at home, as well as a digital scale at my dietician’s office & there’s usually around a 3 pound difference between the two. 
That said, when weighing in with my dietician, it’s usually in the afternoon, after I’ve eaten & drank, and being fully clothed, while at home I weigh myself first thing in the morning after using the bathroom & while being completely naked... which is actually when/how u should always weigh yourself if possible, because that will always be ur lowest & most accurate weight of the day.

Answer

Use one scale. And zero it before getting on it
