Understanding a calorie deficit
A calorie deficit describes intake below expenditure. This tool illustrates the arithmetic of a percentage change; it does not predict how much weight you will lose.
The idea in practice
Enter maintenance calories from an estimate such as TDEE. Choose a decrease of 1–20%. The result shows the target and the amount subtracted.
AT A GLANCEMaintenance calories × (1 − percentage ÷ 100)
Keep the result in perspective
Adults only; not for pregnancy, breastfeeding or managing an eating disorder. Outputs below 1,200 kcal are withheld as a tool guardrail. Values above it are not automatically safe or appropriate.
