1. What is the Weight Loss Calculation?

This calculator estimates potential weight loss over 3 months (90 days) for women based on daily caloric deficit. It uses the principle that 1 kg of body weight is approximately equivalent to 7700 kcal.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( deficit \) — Daily caloric deficit (kcal/day)
• \( 90 \) — Number of days in 3 months
• \( 7700 \) — Approximate kcal equivalent of 1 kg body weight

Explanation: The calculation projects how much weight could be lost by maintaining a consistent daily caloric deficit over a 3-month period.

3. Importance of Caloric Deficit

Details: Creating a caloric deficit is fundamental for weight loss. This calculator helps women set realistic expectations and goals for their weight loss journey.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your daily caloric deficit in kcal/day. This is the difference between calories consumed and calories burned through activity and basal metabolic rate.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is the 7700 kcal/kg rule accurate for everyone?
A: While it's a good estimate, individual variations in metabolism and body composition can affect actual weight loss.

Q2: Why is this calculator specific to women?
A: Women typically have different metabolic rates and body composition than men, which can affect weight loss patterns.

Q3: How should I create a caloric deficit?
A: Through a combination of diet (eating fewer calories) and exercise (burning more calories), ideally under professional guidance.

Q4: Will weight loss be linear over the 3 months?
A: Typically no - initial weight loss may be faster due to water loss, and metabolic adaptations may slow progress over time.

Q5: What's a healthy caloric deficit?
A: Generally 300-500 kcal/day is sustainable, but this depends on individual factors like starting weight and activity level.
