Daily Deficit Needed
750.00
Weeks to Goal
10.0
To lose 15.0 lbs in 10.0 weeks at 1.5 lbs/week, target 1550 calories daily. This creates a 750 calorie deficit from your TDEE of 2300 calories.
Caloric deficit calculations use Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) derived from Basal Metabolic Rate and activity level multipliers. Sustainable weight loss occurs through consistent moderate deficits rather than aggressive restriction that triggers metabolic adaptation.
Weight loss follows the principle that 3,500 calories equals one pound of fat. However, actual results vary based on body composition, hormonal factors, and adherence. Maintaining 1-2 pounds per week preserves lean muscle mass while optimizing fat loss through gradual metabolic adjustment.
