Your Guide to Weight Loss with an Indian Diet
Understanding your calorie needs is the first step to achieving your weight loss goals. This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your **maintenance calories**—the energy you need to stay at your current weight. To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than this number, creating a calorie deficit.
How to Use This Calculator for Weight Loss
- Enter your details to find your **maintenance calories**.
- Select your **weight loss goal** (e.g., lose 0.5 kg per week).
- The calculator will show you a **target calorie intake** for your goal. A deficit of 500 calories per day typically leads to a loss of about 0.5 kg per week.
