Quick summary

Compute your daily calorie target from your TDEE and chosen deficit, and project the weight you can lose over a period.

How to calculate calorie deficit manually

  1. Target = TDEE − deficit.
  2. Estimated fat loss (kg) = (deficit × days) / 7700, since 1 kg of body fat ≈ 7,700 kcal.

Compute your daily calorie target from your TDEE and chosen deficit, and project the weight you can lose over a period.

How it works

Target = TDEE − deficit. Estimated fat loss (kg) = (deficit × days) / 7700, since 1 kg of body fat ≈ 7,700 kcal.

Example

TDEE 2,500 kcal, 500 kcal deficit, 30 days → eat 2,000 kcal, lose ≈ 1.95 kg.
