FAQ
What formula is used?▼
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is considered the most accurate for estimating BMR. Male: 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) - 5×age - 5. Female: 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) - 5×age - 161.
How many calories to lose 1 pound per week?▼
One pound of fat is roughly 3,500 calories. To lose 1 pound per week, create a deficit of 500 calories per day (3,500 / 7). This can come from eating less, exercising more, or both.
