Target Weight Guide
How It Works
This calculator determines your daily calorie target based on your current weight, goal weight, activity level, and desired timeframe.
Safe Rate Guidelines
- Weight Loss: Max 0.5-1 kg (1-2 lbs) per week
- Weight Gain: Max 0.25-0.5 kg (0.5-1 lb) per week
- Minimum Calories: 1200 (women), 1500 (men)
Calorie Math
- 1 kg of body fat ≈ 7,700 calories
- 1 lb of body fat ≈ 3,500 calories
- 500 cal/day deficit = ~0.5 kg (1 lb)/week loss
- 500 cal/day surplus = ~0.5 kg (1 lb)/week gain
Important
If the calculated calories seem too low (<1200) or too aggressive, consider extending your timeframe for a more sustainable approach.
