The calories restriction approach is a fat loss strategy where you eat less calories than your body needs. The idea is to allow your body to tap into your fat reserves to get the extra energy needed.
The calorie restriction calculator helps you theoretically estimate how many days it would take for you to reach your target fat percentage.
* Your basal metabolic rate will reduce as you lose weight.
* There are 7,700 calories in 1kg of fat or 3500 calories in 1 pound of fat.
* The calorie restriction model is known to be unreliable and unsustainable for many people, as it doesn't take the insulin resistance and your body's hormonal responses to different types of food into consideration.
* This calculator assumes that your lean body mass stays the same, meaning no muscle loss during the process, which is a process that will occur if your body is in starvation mode.
