Health - calorie deficit

What calorie deficit do I need to lose 0.5 kg per week?

Answer
550
kcal / day deficit
(0.5 kg × 7700 kcal/kg) ÷ 7 days = 550 kcal/day
How we got there
  1. 011 kg of body fat ≈ 7700 kcal of stored energy
  2. 02To lose 0.5 kg/week: 0.5 × 7700 = 3850 kcal/week deficit
  3. 03Per day: ÷ 7 = 550 kcal/day below your TDEE
  4. 04For sustainable loss, keep daily deficit ≤ 25% of TDEE.
