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.
The calculator uses the weight loss equation:
Where:
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.
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.
Tips: Enter your planned or actual daily calorie deficit. The value must be positive (typically between 300-1000 kcal/day for sustainable weight loss).
Q1: Is 7700 kcal exactly equal to 1kg weight loss?
A: This is an estimate. Actual weight loss can vary based on body composition and metabolic factors.
Q2: What's a safe daily calorie deficit?
A: Generally 500-1000 kcal/day for 0.5-1kg weekly loss. Extreme deficits can be unhealthy.
Q3: Why might actual results differ?
A: Metabolic adaptation, water retention, and changes in activity levels can affect actual weight loss.
Q4: Should I aim for faster weight loss?
A: Gradual weight loss (0.5-1kg/week) is typically more sustainable and healthier long-term.
Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a theoretical estimate. Individual results will vary based on many factors.
