From: | To: |
The Calorie Weight Calculator helps you determine how many calories you need to consume daily to reach your weight loss goal by a specific date, based on your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure).
The calculator uses the calorie deficit formula:
Where:
Explanation: The equation calculates the daily calorie deficit needed to lose the specified weight in the given time period.
Details: Accurate calorie calculation is crucial for effective weight management, helping you lose weight at a safe and sustainable rate.
Tips: Enter your TDEE in kcal/day, desired weight loss in kg, and the number of days to achieve your goal. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is TDEE?
A: TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn in a day, including basal metabolic rate and physical activity.
Q2: Is 7700 kcal really equal to 1 kg?
A: This is an approximate value. The exact energy content of body fat can vary slightly, but 7700 kcal/kg is widely used for calculations.
Q3: What's a safe rate of weight loss?
A: Generally 0.5-1 kg per week is considered safe and sustainable for most people.
Q4: Should I eat exactly these calories?
A: This is a guideline. Individual results may vary based on metabolism, body composition, and other factors.
Q5: Can I lose weight faster by creating a larger deficit?
A: While possible, very large deficits can lead to muscle loss, nutritional deficiencies, and metabolic adaptation.
