Your Starting Target

Start by eating 200–400 calories below your maintenance number.

If you have 40+ pounds to lose, you can start at 300–500.

If you have 10–20 pounds to lose, start at 200–350.

Run the same target for 14 days before changing anything.

This is a starting estimate, not medical advice.

What to Do With Your Number

Your calculated number is a starting estimate, not a fixed law. Consistency and slight adjustments are far more important than perfection.

  • Start with a small deficit. Avoid aggressive cuts.
  • Keep protein high.
  • Track weekly averages, not day to day scale swings.
  • Walk daily and lift 2 to 3 times per week.
  • If progress stalls for 2 weeks, adjust slightly.

Next Step

The calculator gives you the number. The guide tells you what to do next.
