The Science

Weight loss occurs when you burn more calories than you consume. A deficit of 500 calories/day typically results in ~0.5kg of fat loss per week.

The 7700 Rule

"1 kg of body fat ≈ 7700 calories. To lose 1kg, you need a cumulative deficit of 7700 calories."

The Formula

Target Calories = TDEE − Deficit

Days to Goal = (Weight × 7700) ÷ Deficit
