What is a Calorie Deficit?
A calorie deficit means consuming fewer calories than your body burns, leading to weight loss. The size of your deficit determines how fast you lose weight:
- Mild Deficit (250 kcal/day) – Approx. 0.25 kg/week weight loss
- Moderate Deficit (500 kcal/day) – Approx. 0.5 kg/week weight loss
- Aggressive Deficit (750 kcal/day) – Approx. 0.75 kg/week weight loss
Important: A calorie deficit greater than 750 kcal/day may not be sustainable and can lead to muscle loss, fatigue, and metabolic slowdown.
Limitations of the Calorie Deficit Calculator
This tool provides an estimate based on general formulas and does not account for:
- Metabolism variations – Some individuals burn calories more efficiently than others.
- Macronutrient balance – Calories matter, but food quality (protein, fats, carbs) also plays a role in fat loss.
- Non-exercise activity (NEAT) – Daily movement (walking, fidgeting) affects calorie burn but isn’t directly factored in.
- Hormonal and medical factors – Thyroid conditions, insulin resistance, and other health factors can affect weight loss.
For sustainable results, combine a calorie-controlled diet with balanced nutrition and regular exercise.
