Frequently asked questions
How are my daily calories calculated?
We use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your BMR, multiply by an activity factor for TDEE, then adjust for your goal (−500 kcal for loss, +300 for gain).
What is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure — the calories your body burns per day including activity. Eat below it to lose weight, above to gain.
What are good macros for weight loss?
A common split: 40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fat. High protein preserves muscle in a deficit.
How much protein per day?
1.6–2.2 g per kg of body weight for active adults and anyone in a calorie deficit.
Is a 500-calorie deficit safe?
Yes — 500 kcal/day is the classic 0.5 kg/week loss rate and is considered safe and sustainable for most healthy adults.
Should I see a dietitian?
This calculator gives a solid starting point. Consult a professional for medical conditions, pregnancy, or specialized athletic goals.
