What is the Calorie Deficit Calculator?
The Calorie Deficit Calculator helps you determine how many calories you should eat to lose weight at a specific rate. A calorie deficit occurs when you consume fewer calories than your body burns.
How to Use This Calculator
1
Enter your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure).
2
Input your desired weight loss goal per week (e.g., 0.5 kg).
3
Click 'Calculate' to see your daily calorie target.
Example Calculation
TDEE 2000, Goal 0.5kg/week
To lose 0.5kg per week with a TDEE of 2000, you need a daily deficit of 550 calories, meaning you should eat about 1,450 calories per day.
