Yes. It is amazing how the obvious can elude people. It is EXACTLY as accurate to weigh once a week as once a day or once a year.

ANY individual measurement has variability.

Yet you will find the advice from countless diet and weight loss "experts" to weigh once a week because once a day has too much variability.

If you want to "average out variability," it's easy. Just weigh every day and calculate a 5 day or 7 day running average.
