Calorie Deficit Calculator

Calculate an estimated calorie target from TDEE and a daily or percentage deficit.

Estimated result

The energy equivalent is theoretical; actual weight does not change linearly or predictably.

Adjusting maintenance

The target subtracts an amount or percentage from TDEE and shows weekly deficit plus a theoretical energy equivalent.

Not a weight prediction

Metabolic adaptation, adherence, and activity changes prevent calories from becoming a linear promise.

Frequently asked questions

Does weekly deficit guarantee weight loss?

No. It is a mathematical equivalent, not an individual prediction.

Is personal data sent to a server?

No. Calculations run locally in your browser and these values are not stored by default.

Can I use the result as medical advice?

No. It is an educational reference and does not replace individual assessment.
