How the Weight Loss Calorie Calculator Works

Required Daily Deficit = (currentweight - goalweight) * 3500 / (weeks * 7)

The formula used calculates your daily calorie deficit by taking the difference between your current weight and goal weight, multiplying it by 3500 (the calories in a pound of fat), and dividing by the number of days in your specified timeframe. For example, if you weigh 180 lb and want to reach 160 lb in 4 weeks, the calculation would be ((180 - 160) * 3500) / (4 * 7) = 500 kcal per day.
