Calorie Deficit Calculator

Want to lose weight but not sure how many calories you should eat? Our Calorie Deficit Calculator will help you figure out how many calories your body needs every day and how much you should reduce to lose weight safely.

What is a Calorie Deficit?

A calorie deficit means you eat fewer calories than your body burns. When you do this, your body uses stored fat for energy, which helps you lose weight. This calculator shows you how many calories you burn each day and gives you a target for safe weight loss.

How to Use the Calculator?

  1. Select Your Gender: Men and women burn calories differently, so this is important.
  2. Enter Your Age: Age affects your metabolism, which is why it's important.
  3. Enter Your Weight and Height: These are needed to calculate how many calories you burn.
  4. Choose Your Activity Level: How active are you? Pick from options like “sedentary” (little or no exercise) to “super active” (lots of physical activity). This will help calculate your daily calorie needs.
  5. Click Calculate: After entering your information, hit the “Calculate” button to see your results.

What Your Results Mean?

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)

This is how many calories your body burns at rest, just to keep you alive.

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)

This is how many calories you burn in total each day, including activities like walking, working, and exercising.

Calorie Deficit for Weight Loss

  • Moderate Deficit: Eat 500 fewer calories each day. This helps you lose about 0.5 kg (1 pound) per week.
  • Large Deficit: Eat 1000 fewer calories each day. This helps you lose about 1 kg (2 pounds) per week.

How to Be in a Calorie Deficit?

To maintain a calorie deficit, you need to:

  • Track your calories: Use apps or journals to monitor what you eat.
  • Eat nutrient-dense foods: Opt for foods that are low in calories but high in nutrients, like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.
  • Increase physical activity: Burn more calories by adding exercise into your daily routine.

Combining these strategies ensures you're eating in a calorie deficit and steadily moving towards your weight loss goals.
