How Many Calories to Lose Weight?

What is a Calorie Deficit?

A calorie deficit occurs when you consume fewer calories than your body burns. This forces your body to use stored energy (fat) for fuel, which leads to weight loss. A deficit of ~500 kcal per day results in approximately 0.5 kg (1 lb) of weight loss per week. Never go below 1,200 kcal/day without medical supervision.
