1. What is Daily Weight Loss Calculation?

The daily weight loss calculation estimates how much weight you can expect to lose based on your daily caloric deficit. It's based on the principle that a 3500 kcal deficit equals approximately 1 pound of weight loss.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Caloric Deficit — Difference between calories consumed and calories burned (kcal/day)
• 3500 — Estimated kcal equivalent of 1 pound of body weight

Explanation: This calculation provides an estimate of daily weight loss based on your energy deficit.

3. Importance of Caloric Deficit

Details: Understanding the relationship between caloric deficit and weight loss helps in setting realistic weight loss goals and expectations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your daily caloric deficit in kcal/day. The value must be positive (greater than 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is 3500 kcal really equal to 1 pound?
A: This is a general estimate. The exact energy equivalent varies slightly between individuals based on body composition.

Q2: Why don't I lose weight as predicted?
A: Many factors affect weight loss including water retention, metabolic adaptation, and measurement inaccuracies.

Q3: Is this calculation accurate for everyone?
A: It provides a rough estimate. Individual results may vary based on metabolism, body composition, and other factors.

Q4: Can I use this for weight gain calculations?
A: Yes, by using caloric surplus instead of deficit, though muscle gain follows different patterns than fat loss.

Q5: How should I create a caloric deficit?
A: Through a combination of diet (eating fewer calories) and exercise (burning more calories), ideally under professional guidance.
