Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories should I eat to lose weight safely?
Safe, sustainable weight loss is 0.5-1% of body weight per week — for most people that is 0.5-2 pounds per week. One pound of body fat stores roughly 3,500 calories, so a daily deficit of 500 calories below TDEE produces about one pound of loss per week. Larger deficits accelerate loss but increase muscle loss, hormonal disruption, and metabolic adaptation — the body reduces TDEE by 10-15% in response to sustained large deficits. Minimum intake thresholds exist to preserve muscle and organ function: women generally should not go below 1,200 calories and men below 1,500 without medical supervision. Combining a moderate calorie deficit (300-500 calories) with resistance training best preserves muscle while losing fat, giving better body composition outcomes than diet alone.
