![]() try to target a maximum daily calorie reduction of approximately 1000 calories per day. It is generally not advisable to lose more than 2 pounds per week as it can have negative health effects, i.e. Recall that 1 pound (~0.45 kg) equates to approximately 3500 calories, and reducing daily caloric intake relative to estimated BMR by 500 calories per day will theoretically result in a loss of 1 pound a week. Remember that the values attained from these equations are approximations and subtracting exactly 500 calories from your BMR will not necessarily result in exactly 1 pound lost per week – it could be less, or it could be more! If you know your body fat percentage, the Katch-McArdle Formula might be a more accurate representation of your BMR.
