1. What is the 10kg Weight Loss Calculator?

This calculator estimates the time required to lose 10kg based on your daily calorie deficit. It uses the principle that 1kg of body weight is approximately equivalent to 7700 kcal.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weight loss equation:

Where:

• 10 — Target weight loss in kilograms
• 7700 — Calories needed to burn 1kg of body weight
• Daily Deficit — Your daily calorie deficit in kcal/day

Explanation: The equation calculates how many days it will take to create a total deficit of 77,000 kcal (10kg) at your specified daily deficit rate.

3. Importance of Calorie Deficit

Details: A calorie deficit is essential for weight loss. This calculator helps you plan realistic timeframes for your weight loss goals based on your deficit.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your planned or actual daily calorie deficit. The value must be positive (typically between 300-1000 kcal/day for sustainable weight loss).
