Energy Equivalence Basis: Calculations are modeled on the thermodynamic equivalent of body fat: approximately 7,700 kcal per kilogram (or 3,500 kcal per pound). Individual metabolic adaptations, hormonal variations, water fluctuations, and non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) may naturally alter timelines over extended periods.

How Energy Balance Weight Loss is Projected

Body fat reduction is governed by the principles of thermodynamics: consuming fewer calories than your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) forces your body to oxidize stored adipose tissue for energy. Each kilogram of body fat equals roughly 7,700 kcal (approx. 3,500 kcal per pound).

A consistent daily energy deficit of 500 kcal creates an estimated weekly loss of approximately 0.45 kg (1 lb).
