How it works

How it works

Losing fat requires burning more energy than you eat. On average, 1 kg of fat equals about 7,700 kcal. A pace of 0.25 to 1 kg per week is usually considered safe for most adults.

Cautions

It is an estimate: metabolism adapts and weight fluctuates. It does not replace a dietitian or doctor, especially for large deficits.

Formula

S=A−MrD=r7⋅7,700

How to calculate

S is the number of weeks, A the current weight, M the goal and r the pace in kg per week. The daily deficit D is r times 7,700 divided by 7.

Example

With round numbers, so you can check the math:

Frequently asked questions

What pace is healthy?

Generally between 0.25 and 1 kg per week; above 1.5 the calculator does not compute.

Is the deficit only diet?

No: it comes from eating less plus burning more with exercise.

Why does weight not drop in a straight line?

Water retention and other swings hide the loss for a few days.
