Weight Loss Formula:
From: | To: |
The weight loss formula calculates how much weight you can expect to lose based on your daily calorie deficit over a period of time. It's based on the principle that 1 kg of body weight is roughly equivalent to 7700 kcal.
The calculator uses the weight loss equation:
Where:
Explanation: The formula shows that consistent daily calorie deficit leads to predictable weight loss over time.
Details: Creating a calorie deficit is the fundamental requirement for weight loss. This calculator helps women over 30 estimate their expected weight loss based on their planned deficit.
Tips: Enter your planned daily calorie deficit (typically 300-500 kcal/day for sustainable weight loss) and the duration in days. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: Why 7700 kcal per kg?
A: This is the estimated energy content of 1 kg of body fat, though individual results may vary slightly.
Q2: Is weight loss linear?
A: While the formula assumes linearity, actual weight loss may vary due to metabolic adaptations and other factors.
Q3: Why focus on women over 30?
A: Metabolism typically slows with age, and women over 30 may need more precise calculations due to hormonal changes.
Q4: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a theoretical estimate. Actual results depend on adherence, metabolic factors, and body composition changes.
Q5: Should I create larger deficits for faster results?
A: Very large deficits can be counterproductive. 300-500 kcal/day is typically recommended for sustainable loss.
