How Do We Calculate Weight Loss

In this article we talk about health score. Health and wellness are among the top priorities for many people, with achieving and maintaining an ideal weight being a key goal. At FamDiet, we combine personalized meal plans with tailored workout programs to help you reach your objectives. In this article, we’ll explore the science-backed methods for weight loss, providing accurate data and insights to help you make informed decisions.

How Do We Calculate Weight Loss?

To predict weight loss effectively, it’s essential to understand two key concepts:

1. BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate):
   The number of calories your body needs at rest to maintain essential functions like breathing and circulation. BMR depends on factors like age, gender, weight, and height.
2. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure):
   The total number of calories your body needs daily based on your activity level. TDEE indicates how much energy you need to maintain your current weight.

How to Calculate BMR:

For Men:
$\text{BMR}=88.362+(13.397\times \text{weight (kg)})+(4.799\times \text{height (cm)})-(5.677\times \text{age (years)})$

For Women:
$\text{BMR}=447.593+(9.247\times \text{weight (kg)})+(3.098\times \text{height (cm)})-(4.330\times \text{age (years)})$

How to Calculate TDEE:

TDEE is calculated based on your activity level using the following multipliers:

• Sedentary (1.2): For individuals with minimal physical activity.
• Moderately Active (1.55): For those who engage in regular exercise a few days a week.
• Very Active (1.725): For individuals with intense physical activity or physically demanding jobs.

$\text{TDEE}=\text{BMR}\times \text{activity multiplier}$

Weight Loss Scenarios:

At FamDiet, we calculate six different scenarios for weight loss based on activity levels and the inclusion of exercise in your daily routine.

1. Low Activity + Diet (No Exercise):
   • TDEE Formula: $\text{TDEE}=\text{BMR}\times 1.2$
   • Estimated Monthly Weight Loss: ~1.5 kg with a daily 500-calorie deficit.
2. Moderate Activity + Diet (No Exercise):
   • TDEE Formula: $\text{TDEE}=\text{BMR}\times 1.55$
   • Estimated Monthly Weight Loss: ~2 kg with a daily 500-calorie deficit.
3. High Activity + Diet (No Exercise):
   • TDEE Formula: $\text{TDEE}=\text{BMR}\times 1.725$
   • Estimated Monthly Weight Loss: ~2.5 kg with a daily 500-calorie deficit.
4. Low Activity + Diet + Exercise:
   • TDEE Formula: $\text{TDEE}=(\text{BMR}\times 1.2)+300$
   • Estimated Monthly Weight Loss: ~3 kg with an 800-calorie daily deficit.
5. Moderate Activity + Diet + Exercise:
   • TDEE Formula: $\text{TDEE}=(\text{BMR}\times 1.55)+300$
   • Estimated Monthly Weight Loss: ~3.5 kg with an 800-calorie daily deficit.
6. High Activity + Diet + Exercise:
   • TDEE Formula: $\text{TDEE}=(\text{BMR}\times 1.725)+300$
   • Estimated Monthly Weight Loss: ~4 kg with a 1000-calorie daily deficit.

Conclusion:

Weight loss outcomes vary depending on your activity level and the inclusion of exercise in your daily routine. At FamDiet, we use accurate data and scientific calculations to provide personalized meal and workout plans, guiding you toward achieving your weight loss goals.
