What is the Calorie Deficit Calculator & How does it work?
Calorie deficit is the difference between the number of calories you consume and the number of calories your body burns. Achieving a calorie deficit is essential for weight loss, as it forces your body to use stored fat for energy.
The formula to calculate daily calorie needs is: [text{Calories Needed} = 10 times text{weight (kg)} + 6.25 times text{height (cm)} – 5 times text{age (years)} + s]
[text{Calorie Deficit} = text{Calories Needed} – text{Calories Consumed}]
var = meaning
s = +5 for males, -161 for females
s = +5 for males, -161 for females
