How do you calculate a calorie deficit?

Find out what a calorie deficit is here.

If you want to start losing weight, the first step is to determine your daily calorie requirement. Based on this value, you can set an appropriate calorie deficit by reducing your calorie intake, which ultimately leads to fat loss.

The easiest way to do this is with the Fitatu calorie calculator. Unlike many online calculators, it takes into account not only your age, sex, height and body weight, but also both your workout activity and your everyday movement outside of training, such as work, walking, household chores or the number of steps you take. This allows the result to reflect your actual energy needs more accurately.

You can also choose the pace at which you want your body weight to change. Remember, however, that a slower rate of weight loss means a gentler calorie deficit, which supports the development of lasting eating habits and increases the likelihood of maintaining your results in the long term.

Once your calorie requirement has been calculated, simply monitor your calorie intake in the Fitatu app. This will make it easier to maintain the right deficit and keep track of your progress.
