Weight Loss Calculator
The YogaCruz Weight Loss Calculator helps you estimate your daily calorie requirements and create a realistic weight-loss target based on your age, gender, height, current weight, target weight and activity level.
How does the Weight Loss Calculator work?
The calculator first estimates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the approximate amount of energy your body requires at rest. It then adjusts the estimate according to your activity level to estimate your daily energy requirements.
What calorie deficit is used?
Weight loss generally requires an energy deficit, meaning that average energy intake is lower than energy expenditure. The calculator uses different deficit levels to provide gradual, moderate and faster estimated weight-loss options rather than promising a specific result.
How fast should you lose weight?
A gradual and sustainable approach is generally preferable to attempting very rapid weight loss. Many public-health programs use approximately 1–2 pounds (0.45–0.9 kg) per week as a general weight-loss range for many adults.
How accurate is this Weight Loss Calculator?
No online calorie calculator can predict an individual's exact future weight. Metabolism, food intake, exercise, sleep, medications, health conditions and changes in energy expenditure can all affect actual results. Therefore, the numbers shown by this calculator should be treated as estimates rather than guarantees.
