Weight Loss Calculator

In order to lose weight you have to create a calorie deficit.  This means you have to burn more calories than you eat.  This can be done by eating fewer calories or by exercising to burn calories. The best way to lose weight is to do a combination of both to create a bigger deficit.  Use the weight loss calculator to find out how many calories you need to burn each day to meet your weight loss goals.

Enter the amount of weight you want to lose and the amount of calories you plan to cut each day to find out how long it will take to lose that weight.  If you want to lose weight faster, cut and burn more calories.  But do not eat fewer than 1,200 a day, since eating less than this amount can cause you to be malnourished and lose weight too quickly.  Safe, healthy weight loss is sustainable, restricting calories too much can lead to health problems in addition to being difficult to keep up over time.

Since creating a calorie deficit is key to weight loss you must know how many calories you are eating and how many calories you are burning.  Using the calorie counter will help you keep track of the number of calories you eat each day (find great zero-calorie food options here).  Using the calories burned calculator can help you determine how many calories you have burned doing basic exercise like swimming, walking and running.  Knowing how many calories are going in and coming out will help you make sure you are creating the calorie deficit needed to lose weight.

Many people who are trying to lose weight are also looking to trade in fat for lean muscle.  This requires you to do strength training exercises (more about strength training with barbells here).  But to build muscle, you need to eat protein -- this is the building block for muscle mass. How much should you eat?  This is different for each person, so you'll need to use the protein calculator to find out how many grams of protein you should eat each day to build and maintain muscle.
