Expert Tip

Expected Excess Weight Loss (EWL) is typically 30-40% at 3 months, 50-60% at 6 months, and 60-70% at 1 year post-operation.

Calculation Methodology & Details

๐Ÿ“

Formula

Excess Weight = Start Weight โˆ’ (25 ร— Height_mยฒ) EWL (3mo) = Excess ร— 35% EWL (12mo) = Excess ร— 65%

Excess weight is calculated relative to a BMI of 25. Percentages represent typical average bariatric milestones.

FAQ

Which formula is used for calculating BMR & TDEE?
Most tools utilize the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, widely considered by clinicians as the most accurate standard for estimating resting metabolic rate.
How should I adjust macronutrient targets for my goals?
Protein is typically prioritized based on lean mass (1.6-2.2g per kg), while dietary fats and carbohydrates fill the remaining daily caloric allowance depending on diet preference (e.g. keto vs. balanced).
Can I rely on these numbers for therapeutic dietary management?
These tools provide baseline estimates for general wellness and fitness tracking. Patients with metabolic disorders, diabetes, or renal disease should consult a registered dietitian or physician.
