Nutritional Inputs

Enter maintenance calories, target deficit, or body weight.

Target Daily Energy Intake

1,800 kcal / day ~1.0 lbs (0.45 kg) Fat Loss per Week
๐Ÿ’ก

Nutrition Tip

A 500 kcal daily deficit yields approximately 1 lb of fat loss per week (3,500 kcal total weekly deficit).

Nutritional Science & Metabolic Methodology

๐Ÿ“

Formulas

Target Calories = TDEE - Deficit (500 kcal = -0.45kg/wk)

Applies standard dietary energy balance equations and macro ratio distributions.

Important Diet Disclaimer

Extreme calorie restriction (<1,200 kcal/day) is unsafe without clinical supervision. Consult a dietitian.

How to Calculate Daily Nutrient Targets Step-by-Step

Follow these simple steps for dietary planning:

1

Determine Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)

Calculate your maintenance calories based on age, sex, weight, and activity level.

2

Choose Weight Loss or Gain Deficit/Surplus

Select a moderate 300โ€“500 kcal daily deficit for fat loss or surplus for muscle growth.

3

View Target Calorie & Macro Distribution

Instantly view calculated daily target calories and daily protein/carbs/fat gram split.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much protein should I eat per day during a calorie deficit?
Fitness researchers recommend consuming 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (0.7โ€“1.0g per lb) to preserve lean muscle while losing fat.
What is the thermic effect of food (TEF)?
TEF represents the energy expended to digest and process nutrients (~20-30% for protein, 5-10% for carbs, 0-3% for fats).
