1. What is the Weight Loss Formula?

The weight loss formula estimates how much weight you can lose based on your daily caloric deficit over a period of time. It's based on the principle that 1 kg of body weight is roughly equivalent to 7700 kcal.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weight loss formula:

Where:

• Caloric Deficit — Difference between calories consumed and calories burned (kcal/day)
• Days — Duration of the deficit period (days)
• 7700 — Energy equivalent of 1 kg body weight (kcal/kg)

Explanation: The formula calculates how much weight you can expect to lose by maintaining a specific caloric deficit over a certain number of days.

3. Importance of Caloric Deficit

Details: Creating a caloric deficit is fundamental for weight loss. This calculator helps estimate realistic weight loss goals based on your planned deficit and timeframe.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your daily caloric deficit in kcal/day and the number of days you plan to maintain this deficit. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is the 7700 kcal/kg rule accurate for everyone?
A: While 7700 kcal/kg is a good estimate, individual results may vary based on metabolism, body composition, and other factors.

Q2: What's a safe caloric deficit?
A: Generally, 500-1000 kcal/day deficit is recommended for safe, sustainable weight loss of 0.5-1 kg per week.

Q3: Why isn't my actual weight loss matching the calculation?
A: Water retention, metabolic adaptation, and measurement inaccuracies can affect results. The calculation provides an estimate.

Q4: Can I use this for weight gain calculations?
A: Yes, by using a caloric surplus instead of deficit, the same formula estimates weight gain.

Q5: Does the type of calories matter?
A: While the calculation only considers calories, nutritional quality affects health, satiety, and body composition during weight loss.
