Can one weight more throughout the day? what really makes scales different? i will go from a digital scales- 173 to a beam medical scales-176 why?

Different scales: The scales sensitivities and error can be different. It is not unusual to weigh a few pounds heavier after food or in the night and weight fluctuates with oral intake and toilet habits by a few pounds in a day.
