1. What is the Weight Loss Calorie Formula?

The weight loss calorie formula calculates the daily calorie intake needed to achieve your desired weight loss in 3 months (90 days). It's based on the principle that 1 kg of body weight equals approximately 7700 kcal.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weight loss formula:

Where:

• \( TDEE \) — Total Daily Energy Expenditure (your maintenance calories)
• \( weight\_loss\_kg \) — Desired weight loss in kilograms
• \( 7700 \) — kcal equivalent of 1 kg body weight
• \( 90 \) — Days in 3 months

Explanation: The formula creates a daily calorie deficit that will result in your desired weight loss over 3 months.

3. Importance of Calorie Calculation

Details: Accurate calorie calculation helps create a sustainable weight loss plan without extreme deficits that could lead to muscle loss or metabolic slowdown.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your TDEE (use a TDEE calculator if unknown) and desired weight loss in kg. For healthy weight loss, aim for 0.5-1 kg per week (2-4 kg in 3 months).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is the 7700 kcal per kg rule?
A: It's an estimate - actual energy equivalent varies by individual body composition, but 7700 kcal/kg is a widely accepted average.

Q2: Should I adjust my calories as I lose weight?
A: Yes, as you lose weight your TDEE decreases, so you may need to recalculate periodically for continued progress.

Q3: Is 3 months a realistic timeframe for my goal?
A: Healthy weight loss is typically 0.5-1 kg per week. More aggressive deficits may be unsustainable or unhealthy.

Q4: What if my calculated calories seem too low?
A: Don't go below 1200 kcal/day (women) or 1500 kcal/day (men) without medical supervision. Consider a longer timeframe.

Q5: Should I combine this with exercise?
A: Yes, exercise helps preserve muscle mass during weight loss and can create additional calorie deficit.
