Be consistent. : It doesn't matter as long as you are consistent. Our weight will fluctuate thru the day. You should be looking at trends. Pick a consistent time and check it once a week.

No best time: Early in the morning when you haven't eaten yet is when you have the lightest weight. Just the opposite at night. Check your body mass index/bmi or ideal body weight/ibw on line.

Morning : Most advise a morning weigh in after emptying your bladder/bowel and prior to showering in order to achieve a stable baseline.
