Weight Loss Time Equation:
From: | To: |
This calculator estimates the time required to lose 100% of your body weight based on a consistent daily caloric deficit. Note that this is a theoretical calculation and losing 100% of body weight is neither realistic nor healthy.
The calculator uses the weight loss time equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation calculates how many days it would take to burn the equivalent calories of the desired weight loss at the specified daily deficit.
Details: Healthy weight loss typically ranges from 0.5-1 kg per week. Extreme weight loss can be dangerous and should only be attempted under medical supervision.
Tips: Enter your desired weight loss in kilograms and your planned daily caloric deficit. Remember this is a theoretical calculation - actual results will vary based on many factors.
Q1: Is losing 100% of body weight possible?
A: No, this is a theoretical calculation. Losing all body weight would be fatal as essential fat is required for survival.
Q2: Why 7700 kcal per kg?
A: This is the approximate energy contained in 1 kg of body fat, though the exact amount can vary.
Q3: What's a safe daily caloric deficit?
A: Typically 500-1000 kcal/day deficit is recommended for safe, sustainable weight loss.
Q4: Why doesn't weight loss happen linearly?
A: Metabolic adaptation, changes in body composition, and other factors affect actual weight loss rates.
Q5: Should I use this for actual weight loss planning?
A: No, this calculator is for theoretical demonstration only. Consult a healthcare professional for real weight loss plans.
