Scenario 1: Weight Loss Plan

You want to lose 1 lb per week. You are 30, 5'10", 200 lbs, and exercise 3x/week.

  1. Calculate TDEE (Maintenance): ~2,800 calories/day.
  2. Subtract 500 calories (for 1 lb/week loss).
  3. Target: Eat ~2,300 calories/day.

Scenario 2: Understanding BMI

You calculate a BMI of 26.5 ("Overweight").

  1. Check Body Fat Calculator next.
  2. If body fat is low (e.g., 12%), the high BMI is due to muscle (Healthy).
  3. If body fat is high, the BMI accurately reflects health risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a general screening tool, not a diagnostic one. It does not distinguish between muscle and fat, so it may classify muscular athletes as overweight. We recommend using it alongside other metrics like body fat percentage and waist circumference.

How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

A safe, sustainable rate of weight loss is 0.5 to 1.0 kg (1-2 lbs) per week. This typically requires a calorie deficit of 500-1000 calories per day below your TDEE. Never drop below 1200 calories (women) or 1500 (men) without medical supervision.

What is TDEE?

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn in a day, including your Basal Metabolic Rate (what you burn at rest) plus calories burned from activity and digestion.
