The Calorie Calculator With Goal Date And Time helps determine your daily calorie intake needed to reach a specific weight loss goal by a target date. It calculates the required calorie deficit based on your TDEE and time frame.
The calculator uses the calorie deficit formula:
Where:
Explanation: The equation calculates the daily calorie deficit needed to lose the specified weight over the given time period, then subtracts this from your TDEE to give your daily calorie target.
Details: Creating a calorie deficit is essential for weight loss. This calculator helps you set realistic goals by determining a sustainable daily calorie intake based on your timeline.
Tips: Enter your weight loss goal in kg, your TDEE (use a TDEE calculator if unknown), and your target date. The calculator will determine your daily calorie intake and days remaining.
Q1: Why 7700 kcal per kg?
A: This is the generally accepted energy equivalent of 1 kg of body fat, though individual results may vary slightly.
Q2: What if my TDEE changes during my weight loss?
A: As you lose weight, your TDEE will decrease. Recalculate periodically for best results.
Q3: Is it safe to create large deficits?
A: Generally, deficits greater than 1000 kcal/day are not recommended without medical supervision.
Q4: How accurate is this calculator?
