Calculate Weight Loss Calculator For Women

Weight Loss Formula for Women:

\[ BMR = 10 \times weight + 6.25 \times height - 5 \times age - 161 \] \[ TDEE = BMR \times activity\ factor \] \[ Daily\ calorie\ intake = TDEE - deficit \]

1. What is the Weight Loss Calculator for Women?

The Weight Loss Calculator for Women estimates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), and recommended daily calorie intake for weight loss based on your personal metrics and activity level.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equations:

\[ BMR = 10 \times weight + 6.25 \times height - 5 \times age - 161 \] \[ TDEE = BMR \times activity\ factor \] \[ Daily\ calorie\ intake = TDEE - deficit \]

Where:

\( weight \) — Body weight in kilograms
\( height \) — Height in centimeters
\( age \) — Age in years
\( activity\ factor \) — Multiplier based on activity level
\( deficit \) — Calorie deficit for weight loss (typically 500 kcal/day)

Explanation: The equation first calculates your basal metabolic rate (calories burned at rest), then adjusts for activity level, and finally subtracts your desired calorie deficit for weight loss.

3. Importance of Calorie Calculation

Details: Accurate calorie calculation is crucial for effective weight loss. Eating too few calories can be unhealthy, while eating too many may prevent weight loss. This calculator helps find the right balance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your weight in kg, height in cm, age in years, select your activity level, and choose an appropriate calorie deficit (typically 500 kcal/day for safe weight loss of about 0.5kg per week).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a safe calorie deficit?
A: A deficit of 500 kcal/day typically leads to about 0.5kg weight loss per week, which is considered safe and sustainable.

Q2: How accurate is the BMR calculation?
A: The Mifflin-St Jeor equation used here is about 90% accurate for most people, but individual variations exist.

Q3: Should I eat below my BMR?
A: Generally no - eating below BMR can slow your metabolism. Aim to stay at or above BMR while creating deficit through TDEE.

Q4: How often should I recalculate?
A: Recalculate every 5-10kg of weight loss or if your activity level changes significantly.

Q5: Why is this specific to women?
A: Women typically have lower BMR than men due to differences in body composition, so the equation includes a gender-specific adjustment.
