Frequently Asked Questions

How fast should I lose weight?

1-2 lbs per week is the safe, sustainable range. Faster deficits risk muscle loss and rebound. Never eat below ~1,200 (women) / ~1,500 (men) without medical guidance.

Do calories from exercise count?

Exercise calories are notoriously overestimated. Set your TDEE activity level conservatively and treat extra workouts as bonus deficit.
