Calorie Deficit & Surplus Calculator

Plan daily calorie targets for mild, standard, or aggressive weight loss and lean bulking

ℹ️
Informational Energy Expenditure Estimation: Basal metabolic rate and caloric targets are predictive statistical formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor, Katch-McArdle, Cunningham, Harris-Benedict) calibrated to human population averages. Actual individual metabolic rates vary based on thyroid endocrinology, genetics, and non-exercise thermogenesis (NEAT). For medical nutrition therapy, consult a registered dietitian or physician.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a safe calorie deficit?

A deficit of 300 to 500 kcal/day is widely recommended by sports dietitians, allowing steady fat loss while preserving skeletal muscle mass and hormonal health.

How many calories are in a pound of fat?

One pound of human adipose tissue stores approximately 3,500 kilocalories of metabolic energy.
