The Science of Weight Loss

To lose weight, you need to be in a calorie deficit. This means you must burn more calories than you consume. A deficit of around 7,700 calories is required to lose 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of fat. This calculator works by determining the total calorie deficit needed to reach your target weight, then calculates the exercise duration required to meet that deficit based on your chosen weekly pace.

What's the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body needs to function at rest. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is your BMR plus the calories burned during all other activities, including exercise. For weight loss, your calorie intake should be below your TDEE.
