Estimate a calorie target for weight loss using your maintenance calories. Informational only.
Estimate a daily calorie deficit target from your maintenance calories (TDEE). Informational only.
A calorie deficit means eating fewer calories than you burn. Many people start with a moderate deficit and adjust based on weekly progress. This calculator uses your maintenance calories (TDEE) and subtracts a chosen deficit.
Start small and increase only if needed. Consistency matters most.
No. Too large a deficit can be hard to sustain. Aim for sustainable progress.
