Losing fat isn't a feeling.
It's a number.

How many calories to eat. How many weeks it takes. How much protein to keep your muscle. Works whether you're on a GLP-1 or doing it the long way.

Three numbers to know

The math of fat loss, in three numbers.

There's no secret — the industry just prefers you not to know. Once you see the math, every diet book makes sense, and most of them stop mattering.

9,000
Cal per kg of fat
The whole thing.

9 calories in a gram of fat. 1,000 grams in a kilo. A kilo of fat is 9,000 calories you don't eat. Every calculation on this site flows from that.

2.57
weeks per kilo of fat
Fat takes time.

At a steady 500 Cal deficit, one kilo of fat takes about 2.57 weeks. That's the real pace. The scale can move faster — but most of what moves faster isn't fat.

1
number that matters
Yours.

Your BMR, your maintenance, your macros. Different body, different number. The playground above has them already — set your own and they recompute live.

The honest part

The scale moves faster than your fat does.

If you've dropped 5 kg in a week before, you know the feeling. Real — but not fat. Here's what actually comes off, and in what order.

9,000
Cal per kg
Body fat

The one you want gone. 9 Cal per gram. Can't be lost faster than the math allows — about 0.5–1 kg per week at a sane deficit.

4,000
Cal per kg
Glycogen + water

Carbs are stored with 2 g of water per gram of carb. Drop carbs, drop the water with them. Comes off in days. Goes back on in a meal.

1,800
Cal per kg
Muscle

The one you don't want gone. Lost when protein is too low or deficit is too steep. Especially at risk on GLP-1s, where appetite makes hitting protein hard.

0
Cal per kg
Inflammation

Excess water the body holds while processing junk food. Clean up the diet, inflammation drops. Not fat, but genuinely makes you look leaner.

This is why fast-loss diets look miraculous for a week, then stall. You flushed water and glycogen — cheap to lose, cheap to put back on. Fat is the expensive one at 9,000 Cal a kilo, and the only one that actually changes how you look. The calculator above is calibrated to the expensive one.

On a GLP-1?
There's a page just for Ozempic, Wegovy & Mounjaro users.
Protein targets that protect muscle, calorie floors, and the math for how much of your scale drop is actually fat.

Peri or post-menopausal?
There's a page just for you.
Protein targets that protect muscle through estrogen decline, a calorie floor tuned to your biology, and loss-rate warnings the scale will never give you.
