Weight Loss Equation:
From: | To: |
The weight loss by calorie equation estimates how much weight you can lose based on your daily calorie deficit. It's based on the principle that a deficit of approximately 7700 kcal equals about 1 kg of weight loss.
The calculator uses the weight loss equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation calculates how much weight you can expect to lose per day based on your calorie deficit.
Details: Understanding your daily calorie deficit helps predict weight loss progress and adjust diet/exercise plans accordingly.
Tips: Enter your daily calorie deficit in kcal/day. The value must be positive.
Q1: Is 7700 kcal really equal to 1 kg of weight loss?
A: This is an approximate value that works well for most people, though individual results may vary slightly.
Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a good estimate, but actual weight loss can be affected by factors like water retention, muscle gain, and metabolic adaptation.
Q3: Can I use this for weight gain calculations?
A: Yes, the same principle applies - a calorie surplus would result in weight gain at approximately the same rate.
Q4: Why is my actual weight loss different from the calculation?
A: Many factors affect weight loss including water fluctuations, changes in muscle mass, and measurement inaccuracies.
Q5: How should I track my calorie deficit?
A: Use a combination of food tracking apps and activity monitors for best results, but remember these are estimates.
