All kinds of reasons. There are the obvious reasons like food, water, excrement, etc. For example, a half litre bottle of water weighs one pound, and most foods are roughyl the same density as water, so eating a meal and drinking a glass of water can add a few pounds. Also, using the toilets can drop a pound or two.

Also, the placement of the moon in the sky has an effect on weight. When the moon is overhead, you weigh less. Remember, this is independent of the time of day. The moon is "out" a lot during the day when you can't see it, so your weight fluctuates with that as well.

To get a good measure of your weight, weigh yourself a couple times a day for a week and take an average.

How much should weight fluctuate daily?

It could be a number of factors, including the precision of your scale and the time of day which you weigh yourself. Whether or not you've just eaten or used the bathroom will influence your weight. A liter of water weighs 2.2 pounds, so you can see that a meal can increase your weight by a few pounds, at least temporarily. Try to weigh yourself at roughly the same time during the day to minimize variability. Understand that your weight will naturally fluctuate from day to day and that you should be concerned with meaningful trends in your weight over time that are greater than this 3-5 pound range.
