Frequently Asked Questions
What is a calorie deficit?
A calorie deficit occurs when you consume fewer calories than your body needs to maintain its current weight. This forces your body to use stored fat for energy, leading to weight loss. Learn more on the Medical News Today article on calorie deficit.
How is the calorie deficit calculated?
The calorie deficit is calculated based on your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and activity level. The BMR is determined using the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, a scientifically validated formula. For more details, visit the Wikipedia page on BMR.
Is it safe to create a large calorie deficit?
Creating a large calorie deficit can lead to rapid weight loss, but it may also cause muscle loss, fatigue, and other health issues. It is recommended to aim for a moderate calorie deficit of 500-1000 kcal/day for sustainable weight loss. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
