Weight Loss Calculator

Weight Loss Calculator

Use this calculator to help determine your personal calorie target for weight loss, taking into account your activity levels.  

• The Maintenance number indicates the baseline number of calories you burn at your current weight and activity.

• The Weight Loss number indicates the maximum number of daily calories to consume for one pound of weight loss per week. 

• The Deficit number indicates the daily caloric deficit needed for one pound of weight loss per week. 

The daily caloric deficit can be achieved by reducing this number of calories you eat daily (Deficit) or burning it off through exercise. We caution against exercising your way to weight loss as this often increases your appetite. Awareness of your caloric intake is imperative for weight loss. To be clear, we always recommend exercising for health. And don’t forget that increasing muscle mass will boost the number of calories your body burns in a day.
