1. What Is Weekly Weight Loss Calculation?

The weekly weight loss calculation estimates how much weight you can lose based on your weekly caloric deficit. It's based on the principle that a deficit of approximately 7700 kcal equals about 1 kg of weight loss.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weight loss formula:

Where:

• Weekly Caloric Deficit — Total calories consumed minus calories expended over a week
• 7700 kcal — Estimated energy equivalent of 1 kg of body weight

Explanation: This calculation provides an estimate of weight loss based on energy balance principles. Actual results may vary due to metabolic adaptations and body composition changes.

3. Importance Of Caloric Deficit

Details: Creating a consistent caloric deficit is the fundamental requirement for weight loss. This calculator helps quantify the relationship between your deficit and expected weight change.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter your total weekly caloric deficit (sum of daily deficits). For accuracy, track your intake and expenditure carefully over a full week.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is 7700 kcal really equal to 1 kg of weight loss?
A: This is an approximation. The exact energy equivalent varies based on body composition and individual metabolism.

Q2: Why doesn't my weight loss match the calculation?
A: Water retention, gut contents, muscle gain, and metabolic adaptation can all affect the scale weight independently of fat loss.

Q3: What's a safe weekly weight loss target?
A: 0.5-1 kg per week is generally recommended for sustainable loss with minimal muscle loss.

Q4: Does the type of calories matter for weight loss?
A: While calorie balance determines weight loss, nutrient quality affects body composition, hunger, and health.

Q5: Should I create the deficit through diet or exercise?
A: A combination is ideal - diet for consistent deficit, exercise for health and body composition benefits.
