1. What is Daily Weight Loss Calculation?

The daily weight loss calculation estimates how much weight you can lose based on your daily caloric deficit. It's based on the principle that 1 kg of body weight is roughly equivalent to 7700 kcal.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Caloric Deficit — Difference between calories consumed and calories burned (kcal/day)
• 7700 — Estimated calories equivalent to 1 kg of body weight

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

3. Importance of Caloric Deficit

Details: Creating a consistent caloric deficit is the fundamental principle behind weight loss. This calculator helps quantify the expected results of your deficit.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your daily caloric deficit in kcal/day. The value must be positive (greater than 0). For best results, use an average deficit over time rather than daily fluctuations.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is 7700 kcal really equal to 1 kg of weight loss?
A: This is an estimate that varies between individuals based on body composition, but it's a widely accepted rule of thumb.

Q2: Why isn't my actual weight loss matching the calculation?
A: Many factors affect weight loss including water retention, muscle gain, metabolic adaptation, and measurement errors in tracking intake/output.

Q3: How accurate is this calculation for long-term weight loss?
A: It works best for short-term predictions. Over longer periods, metabolic changes may alter the calorie-weight relationship.

Q4: Can I use this for weight gain calculations?
A: Yes, the same principle applies - just use a caloric surplus instead of deficit.

Q5: What's a healthy daily weight loss target?
A: Generally 0.5-1 kg per week (about 0.07-0.14 kg/day) is considered safe and sustainable.
