Frequently Asked Questions — Calorie Deficit Calculator

What is a calorie deficit?+

A calorie deficit is when you consume fewer calories than your body burns. A 3,500 kcal deficit roughly equals 0.5 kg of fat lost.

How large should my calorie deficit be?+

A deficit of 300–500 kcal/day (0.3–0.5 kg/week) is sustainable. Aggressive deficits (1000+ kcal) risk muscle loss and nutrient deficiency.

What is TDEE?+

Total Daily Energy Expenditure — the total calories your body burns in a day including activity. Eating TDEE maintains weight; eating below it causes loss.
