1. What is the 3-Month Weight Loss Calculator?

The 3-Month Weight Loss Calculator helps determine your daily calorie intake needed to achieve your weight loss goals within a 90-day period. It uses your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) and desired weight loss to calculate the appropriate calorie deficit.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weight loss formula:

\[ Calories = TDEE - (3500 \times \frac{total\ lb\ loss}{90}) \]

Where:

\( TDEE \) — Total Daily Energy Expenditure (kcal/day)
\( total\ lb\ loss \) — Desired weight loss in pounds over 3 months
\( 3500 \) — Calories equivalent of 1 pound of body weight
\( 90 \) — Number of days in 3 months

Explanation: The formula calculates the daily calorie deficit needed to lose the specified amount of weight over 90 days, then subtracts this from your TDEE to give your target daily calorie intake.

3. Importance of Calorie Calculation for Weight Loss

Details: Accurate calorie calculation is essential for sustainable weight loss. Creating an appropriate calorie deficit ensures you lose weight at a healthy rate while maintaining energy levels and preserving muscle mass.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your TDEE in kcal/day and your desired total weight loss in pounds over 3 months. Both values must be positive numbers for accurate calculation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is TDEE and how do I calculate it?
A: TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories you burn in a day, including basal metabolic rate and physical activity. You can use online TDEE calculators or consult with a nutritionist.

Q2: Is losing 1-2 pounds per week safe?
A: Yes, losing 1-2 pounds per week is generally considered a safe and sustainable rate of weight loss for most adults.

Q3: Should I adjust my calorie intake as I lose weight?
A: Yes, as you lose weight, your TDEE decreases. It's recommended to recalculate your calorie needs every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight loss.

Q4: Are there any health considerations with calorie restriction?
A: Women should not consume fewer than 1200 calories per day, and men should not consume fewer than 1500 calories per day without medical supervision to ensure adequate nutrient intake.

Q5: How accurate is the 3500 calories per pound rule?
A: While the 3500-calorie rule is a useful guideline, individual metabolism and body composition can affect actual weight loss. It's best used as an estimate rather than an exact prediction.
