1. What is the Weight Loss Calculator?

This calculator estimates weight loss over 30 seconds based on your daily caloric deficit. It helps visualize the immediate impact of your diet efforts.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weight loss equation:

Where:

• \( \text{deficit} \) — Daily caloric deficit (kcal/day)
• 30 — Time period in seconds
• 86400 — Seconds in a day
• 3500 — Calories in one pound of fat

Explanation: The equation converts your daily deficit to a 30-second equivalent and calculates the corresponding fat loss.

3. Importance of Weight Loss Calculation

Details: Understanding the immediate impact of your caloric deficit can help maintain motivation and provide realistic expectations about weight loss.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your daily caloric deficit in kcal/day. The value must be positive (greater than 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why calculate weight loss for 30 seconds?
A: It helps visualize the immediate impact of your diet efforts, showing that weight loss happens gradually over time.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a theoretical estimate based on the 3500 kcal = 1 lb rule, but actual results may vary due to metabolic factors.

Q3: Can I use this for weight gain calculations?
A: Yes, by entering a caloric surplus instead of deficit, though the same metabolic variations apply.

Q4: Why is the result so small?
A: Weight loss occurs gradually; 30 seconds represents a tiny fraction of a day (0.000347 of a day).

Q5: How can I increase my weight loss?
A: Increase your caloric deficit through diet, exercise, or a combination of both.
