About the Weight Loss Calculator
standard opportunityThe Weight Loss Calculator is a free online health and fitness tool designed to help you plan a personalized weight loss journey by estimating daily calorie targets, projected timelines, and weekly weight progression based on your body metrics and goals. To build a complete wellness picture, pair this with our Calorie Calculator for general daily energy needs, our BMI Calculator for body composition tracking, our Calorie Burn Calculator to estimate exercise-specific calorie expenditure, or our Water Intake Calculator to ensure proper hydration during your journey.
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to compute your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and adjusts for activity level to determine Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). It then applies a calorie deficit based on your chosen weekly weight loss rate (0.25–1.0 kg or 0.5–2.0 lbs per week) to calculate your daily calorie target. Results include a complete weekly projection table showing your estimated weight at each week until goal, current and target BMI with category labels, a macronutrient breakdown (protein, carbs, fat), and personalized recommendations for sustainable weight loss.
Formulas & Mathematical Theory
Mifflin-St Jeor BMR Equation (Male)
Estimates the Basal Metabolic Rate (calories burned at rest) for biological males.
Mifflin-St Jeor BMR Equation (Female)
Estimates the Basal Metabolic Rate (calories burned at rest) for biological females.
Daily Calorie Deficit for Weight Loss
Your daily calorie target equals TDEE minus the daily deficit needed to achieve your weekly weight loss rate. One kg of body fat equals approximately 7700 calories, so losing 0.5 kg/week requires a 550 kcal daily deficit.
