Calorie Deficit Calculator

Daily calorie deficit to reach your weight goal

Calorie Deficit Calculator

A calorie deficit occurs when you consume fewer calories than you burn. Since 1kg of body fat contains approximately 7,700 kcal, a daily deficit of 500 kcal theoretically produces 0.5kg of fat loss per week. Sustainable deficits are typically 300–500 kcal/day — larger deficits cause muscle loss and metabolic adaptation.

💡

Tip: Protein intake is critical during a deficit. Aim for 1.8–2.4g/kg body weight to preserve lean muscle mass while losing fat.

  1. 1Calculate TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) using BMR × activity factor
  2. 2Set deficit target: 300–500 kcal/day for moderate loss (0.3–0.5kg/week)
  3. 3Minimum intake: 1,200 kcal (women) or 1,500 kcal (men) to preserve muscle
  4. 4Monitor weekly weight trend — 3–4 week average is more reliable than daily weigh-ins
TDEE 2,500 kcal, goal: 0.5kg/week loss=Target: 2,000 kcal/day500 kcal deficit × 7 days = 3,500 kcal ≈ 0.45kg
TDEE 2,000 kcal, goal: maintain weight=Target: 2,000 kcal/dayZero deficit = weight maintenance
Daily DeficitWeekly LossMonthly LossSustainability
200 kcal~0.2kg~0.8kgExcellent — barely noticeable
500 kcal~0.45kg~1.8kgGood — recommended range
750 kcal~0.7kg~2.8kgModerate — monitor energy levels
1,000 kcal~0.9kg~3.6kgAggressive — muscle loss risk
