1. What is the Losertown Weight Loss Calculator?

The Losertown Weight Loss Calculator projects future weight based on current metrics, calorie intake, and activity level. It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate BMR and adjusts weekly based on projected weight changes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses these formulas:

\[ Weight = initial\_weight - \sum(weekly\_loss) \] \[ weekly\_loss = \frac{(BMR_{week} \times activity - intake) \times 7}{7700} \] \[ BMR_{male} = (10 \times weight) + (6.25 \times height) - (5 \times age) + 5 \] \[ BMR_{female} = (10 \times weight) + (6.25 \times height) - (5 \times age) - 161 \]

Where:

\( initial\_weight \) — Starting weight in kg
\( BMR_{week} \) — Basal Metabolic Rate recalculated each week
\( activity \) — Activity level multiplier
\( intake \) — Daily calorie intake in kcal
7700 — Calories in 1 kg of body fat

Explanation: The calculator projects weight loss by calculating weekly deficits and adjusting BMR as weight changes.

3. Importance of Accurate Weight Loss Projection

Details: Realistic weight loss projections help set achievable goals and maintain motivation. This calculator accounts for the metabolic adaptation that occurs as you lose weight.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: For best results, measure your height and weight accurately. Be honest about your activity level and consistent with your calorie tracking.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why does weight loss slow down over time?
A: As you lose weight, your BMR decreases because your body requires less energy to maintain a smaller mass.

Q2: How accurate are these projections?
A: Projections are estimates based on mathematical models. Actual results may vary due to water retention, muscle gain, and metabolic adaptation.

Q3: What if my weight loss stalls?
A: Consider recalculating with updated metrics or adjusting your calorie intake/exercise routine.

Q4: Why use Mifflin-St Jeor instead of other equations?
A: Mifflin-St Jeor is currently considered the most accurate BMR equation for healthy individuals.

Q5: Can I use this for weight gain?
A: Yes, by setting your calorie intake higher than your TDEE (BMR × activity level).
