What this means

Weight change is driven by energy balance. Eat below your maintenance (TDEE) to lose fat and above it to gain weight. Roughly 7,700 kcal equals one kilogram of body mass, so a 550 kcal daily deficit yields about 0.5 kg of loss per week.

Recommendations

  • Aim for a 0.5–1% of bodyweight loss per week — fast enough to see progress, slow enough to keep muscle.
  • Hit 1.6–2.2 g of protein per kg to preserve lean mass while dieting.
  • Re-run this every 3–4 kg of weight change; your maintenance drops as you get lighter.

Watch out

  • Predicted rates are averages. Water weight, glycogen and food volume make week-to-week changes noisy — trust the 2–3 week trend.
