1. What is the Weight Loss Calculator?

The Best Weight Loss Calculator India estimates your daily calorie intake for effective weight loss based on your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and activity level, creating a 500-calorie deficit for sustainable weight loss.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weight loss equation:

\[ \text{Daily Intake} = \text{BMR} \times \text{Activity} - 500 \]

Where:

\( \text{BMR} \) — Basal Metabolic Rate (calories burned at rest)
\( \text{Activity} \) — Activity multiplier based on lifestyle
\( 500 \) — Calorie deficit for weight loss

Explanation: The equation calculates your total daily energy expenditure and subtracts 500 calories to create a deficit that promotes safe and sustainable weight loss.

3. Importance of Calorie Deficit

Details: A 500-calorie daily deficit typically results in about 0.5 kg (1 lb) of weight loss per week, which is considered safe and sustainable for long-term success.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your BMR in kcal, select your activity level from the dropdown menu. For accurate results, use a reliable BMR calculator first.
