Weight Loss Formula:
From: | To: |
This calculator estimates how much weight a woman can lose by a target date based on her daily calorie deficit. It uses the scientifically established relationship that 7700 kcal deficit equals approximately 1 kg of weight loss.
The calculator uses the weight loss formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates total calorie deficit over time and converts it to kilograms of weight loss.
Details: Creating a consistent calorie deficit is the most scientifically validated approach to weight loss. The calculator helps set realistic expectations based on your deficit and timeline.
Tips: Enter your daily calorie deficit (typically 300-500 kcal/day for moderate weight loss), current date, and target date. The calculator will estimate how much weight you can lose by your target date.
Q1: Is 7700 kcal really equal to 1 kg weight loss?
A: This is an estimate that works well for most people, though individual results may vary slightly due to metabolic differences.
Q2: What's a safe daily calorie deficit?
A: For most women, 300-500 kcal/day is safe and sustainable. Very large deficits can be counterproductive.
Q3: Why is this calculator specific to women?
A: Women typically have different calorie needs and weight loss patterns than men due to body composition differences.
Q4: Will I lose exactly this amount of weight?
A: This is an estimate. Actual results depend on consistency, metabolic adaptation, water retention, and other factors.
Q5: How accurate is the prediction?
A: It's most accurate for short-to-medium term predictions (up to 3 months). Long-term predictions may be less accurate due to metabolic changes.
