Because you want to keep an accurate record of your actual weight. If you ate more than normal the night before then you will weigh more than normal. So having a BM will give you a more accurate weight. Also a lot of times they are looking for water weight gains which can be minimal but have a big impact on health if you have certain kidney or heart conditions. The best way to figure this out is through weight so clearing your bowels is importan for accuracy in this.

Just that you will weigh a little less afterwards. The same reason they have you take your shoes off before they weigh you at the doctors office.

i guess its more accurate, just getting the weight of your body and not your waste or digesting food too. you can weigh your self without having a bowel movement, it just wont be as accurate.
