How it Works:

This calculator uses the **Mifflin-St Jeor Equation** to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the number of calories your body burns at rest. Then, it applies an activity factor to determine your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). To achieve weight loss, a calorie deficit is created by subtracting a certain amount of calories from your TDEE.

• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Calories burned at rest.
• Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE): Total calories burned daily, including activity.
• Calorie Deficit: Eating fewer calories than your TDEE to encourage weight loss.

Remember: 3500 calories equals approximately 1 pound of fat. To lose 1 pound per week, you generally need a daily deficit of 500 calories.
