Calorie Deficit Calculator – Daily Calories for Weight Loss
Calculate your daily calorie deficit, maintenance calories (TDEE), and target daily intake to achieve sustainable weight loss by your goal date.
Calorie Deficit & Weight Loss Planner
Calculates your exact Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) using the clinical Mifflin-St Jeor formula, then determines your optimal daily deficit calories.

What Is a Calorie Deficit and How Does It Work?
A calorie deficit occurs when you consume fewer calories than your body burns each day. Because energy cannot be created or destroyed, your body must metabolize its stored adipose fat tissue to bridge the energy shortfall, resulting in steady, predictable fat loss.
The Math Behind Fat Loss: The 3,500-Calorie Rule
One pound (0.45 kg) of stored body fat is biochemically equivalent to approximately 3,500 calories. Therefore:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum safe calorie intake for men and women?
Major health organizations (including Harvard Health and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics) recommend that adult women should not consume fewer than 1,200 calories per day, and adult men should not consume fewer than 1,500 calories per day without direct medical supervision. Dropping below these thresholds risks nutrient deficiencies, hormonal dysregulation, muscle wasting, and gallstones.
Why does weight loss slow down over time (metabolic adaptation)?
As you lose weight, your smaller body burns fewer calories just to sustain itself. Furthermore, unconscious physical movement (NEAT - non-exercise activity thermogenesis) decreases. To continue losing fat, recalculate your calorie deficit every 4 to 6 weeks as your body weight drops.
