    CALCULATING A CALORIE DEFICIT FOR WEIGHT LOSS (SET UP YOUR DEFICIT!) // In this video, I'll explain my method for the calorie deficit calculation for weight loss. Counting calories for weight loss can be an effective strategy.
    What is calorie deficit for weight loss? Do you need a calorie deficit for weight loss? Yes, absolutely, but there are a lot of ways to do that.
    You'll learn how to count calories to lose weight. I explain how to get into a calorie deficit, through a combination of diet and exercise. It's possible to choose one or the other, but you'll see with the calorie deficit calculation for weight loss that combining both is most effective.
    What is a calorie deficit diet? A calorie is a unit of energy and the calorie deficit calculation just means that you burn off more calories than your body requires to sustain itself.
    I'll go through the calorie deficit calculations, and you'll see that there are many ways to get yourself into a calorie deficit.

      Thank you so much for this great video! I'm a 5ft woman, 59 yrs old, and 126 pounds trying to lose body fat. I'm currently at 1100 calories per day, resistance train 4 days/wk, and some cardio 6 days/week and not losing body fat. It's been 7 weeks, I'm seeing some slight body recomposition but this process is so very slow. After listening to your video, I think I have all the challenges - short, older, and trying to lose the last 10-15 pounds. The difficult part is sticking to the process without the assurance that it's working.

I’ve done a lot of research to fine tune my intake on carbs, fiber, sugars, and fats. I just wonder if I need to add more activity in my day to day to get closer 1200 calories per day to reach my target weight. Any advice?

      Think about your calorie intake as separate from your activity. So stick with consuming 1500 and add activity a little bit at a time.

      @secretamericayoutubechanne2961 4 месяца назад

      She said in the beginning about 300 to 400 calories under your deficit. Your deficit is 13 X (your body weight) 13 × 180 equals 2,340 is what my deficit is in calories. So I need to stay under consuming that many calories by about 300 to 400. So a Whopper is about 500 calories. A turkey sandwich about 300, so it all adds up.

    • @IvanaChapman
      @IvanaChapman  Год назад +3

      I think I mention it in this video, but for some of my clients I just multiply their weight in pounds by 13 (maintenance), 14/15 (calorie surplus), 12 (weight loss). It's very simplistic and doesn't work for everyone. I just consider it a starting point and I adjust the numbers if someone is less active, more overweight, etc.

  • @sporegazm
    @sporegazm Год назад +6

    I could always lose weight and get in shape when I smartened up and put effort in. But in general i've always maintained the same weight most of my life. And within 1 year...somehow i suddenly gained 30lbs. And when I hit 212 lbs(only 5'7)...I realized that I had to make some serious work.
    And then nothing that served me in the past would work. I would go to my all my routines of intermittent fasting, cutting calories, increasing my workouts, eating lower carb....and after 4 weeks...no change. I've always seen improvements. So...after a month of hard effort and no results...it becomes easy to give up. I have been around 197lbs for the last 2 years.
    I am on attempt number 10. I decided perhaps all my past experience with myfitnesspal and calorie tracking, has faded...and perhaps I've lost touch with my food.
    I've spent 4 weeks of tracking and in that time chose to try and hit a "perceived" slightly lower calorie target. But if I go over, not going to beat myself up. I more so, just want the data. And try and eat stricter to proper macros if I can.
    I've also dramatically increased the intensity and frequency of my crossfit style workouts.
    My weight has pretty much remained the same over the 4 weeks. It fluctuates as low as 193lbs but I am around 196lbs on average. But I've had some weigh ins at 197lbs too.
    I haven't tallied the full month yet, but looks like I'm averaging 2500 calories a day. It feels lower than my usual days prior. And for my workouts and such...2500 seems low
    I used to lose weight on 2600 calories, 7 years ago.
    So all my prior effective methods havent worked...10 attempts...and now all this tracking info....Could there be something medically wrong? Thyroid? Heart disease ?
    Something feels off :/ and it's disheartening
    Or....do I attempt to go another month at 2200 calories a day and see what happens?

    • @IvanaChapman
      @IvanaChapman  Год назад +3

      There can definitely be frustrating parts of the weight loss process. You could try to go a bit lower with your calories for a month or so and see what happens. Are you also tracking protein? Lower carb might not be the right choice for you...something to test out. And how is your physical activity outside of your workouts (daily movement/walking)? That can also be a factor. With all that said, if you feel something might be "off", it's best to see a doctor to make sure.

    • @sporegazm
      @sporegazm Год назад

      @Ivana Chapman thx for the reply. So I have gathered 5 weeks of myfitnesspal calorie and macro data. I am now targeting 2250 calories(for the past week or so). And I am realizing, that even in the weeks prior with higher calorie targets, one thing was consistently lacking...protein. So these weeks with myfitnesspal data collection weren't in vein. It has highlighted I have in fact lost touch with my relationship with food. Especially/mainly protein.
      Week 1 was an average of 134g per day, week 2 was 123g, week 3 was 127g and week 4 was 148g. 4 week average of 131g.
      So I fell short of my target every single week and most days.
      My 4 week average of calories was 2361, my 4 week carb average was 199g and my 4 week fat average was 109.
      So with this new target of 2250 for just over a week now, I am trying to strictly hit my target of 197g of protein. Hoping it helps my metabolism.
      I am now weighing about 193lbs.
      And my activity outside of workouts is pretty minimal. 7 years ago, I used to be very physically active at work(physical labour), but now my senority has me in a position where I sit in a chair in front of computer screens all day. Been working revolving shift work (12 hour shifts) for 10 years now. I know that isn't doing me any favors. :/ I also used to have younger kids that I was doing things with outside constantly, but now that they are older, I don't go to the parks and such anymore like I used to. So admittedly, there is some changes with activity outside workouts over the past 7 to 10 years.

      Yes, absolutely! Additional protein (if it's just protein, and not a food source that's a mix of protein/fat) will be partitioned to muscle retention/growth or digestive needs. Are you just maintaining your weight at this stage, or still aiming for fat loss?

      The 13x multiplier only works for some people. And based on your experience, it’s too high for you. 1000 calories a day is a bit low for me, but most people don’t track calories accurately…so what you believe is 1000 could easily be 1300-1400. Work with what you already know: 1500 is probably close to your maintenance calories.

    I’ve been eating 1,500 and can barely eat that much. I feel like 1,900 is a lot to lose weight..

    @jimmason8502 23 дня назад

    LOL 13 X my bodyweight (220lbs) = 2,860 calories. I gain weight at around 2,300 calories and figure maintenance for me is 2,200~2,000, AND I'm pretty active. At 2,800 calories a day I'll gain a pound a week at least.

      That simple estimate tends to work best for people who are close to their ideal weight. You may also have a slower than normal metabolism or you may not be tracking calories accurately (most people are about 30-40% off).

    when I first dropped a pound I was like it's probably just water weight cause thats how they say it goes when a person first drops but then days after it still was dropped
    Is that normal for a drop in weight to really stick and it not be water

    When I use an online calculator, my maintenance calories is showing 2300. I weigh 250lbs and based on your video my maintenance is 3250. 🤯 Is this really real?!?! I am trying to eat 2000 calories a day based on 300cal deficiet from 2300 I got on calculator. Which is correct???

    • @IvanaChapman
      @IvanaChapman  2 года назад

      They are both just estimates, as there are so many variables that affect your maintenance calories. Do you have an idea how many calories you're currently consuming? Sometimes I have my clients just track what they're eating (without changing anything) for a week, and then determine the deficit from there. If you prefer to just start with a target, I would suggest whatever seems reasonable for you. It will also depend on how much activity you intend to add.

    i don"t get it, there is around 7k to 8k of cal in a 1 kilo. During 3 weeks of time I had more or less a deficit of of 500 cal per day and yet I lost 3.5 kilo during that time. (I'm tracking my calories like a hawk during that time) it should not be possible? I mean it cannot be just water, I'm like three month in my diet now and I'm only 8 kilo away from my goal?

      That's how the equation would work, but it won't be accurate for you. 13x your bodyweight is for a moderately active person and if you're on bed rest or sedentary, you'll be burning far fewer calories. 😢

    I did the calculation and it is not adding up… ☹️
    I weigh 302 (47 y/o female, 5’7”) and my “maintenance calories” according to the video is 3,926. I’m walking between 5,000 and 8,000 steps per day which includes 30 minutes of cardio videos or the treadmill 4 to 5 times a week (sometimes a bit more, like another 15 minute video). I’m eating between 1700 and 2200 calories per day and the scale has not moved in two weeks (despite increasing my acidity during that time). Without even taking into calories burned from exercise, I should be losing 3 pounds a week based on the calculation in the video, correct? Any thoughts (or am I messing this up?)?
    Also, in the comments - in one place you say the 13xLBS calculation is for sedentary people and in another place you say it’s for moderately active people, can you clarify/correct, please?
    Thank you!

    • @IvanaChapman
      @IvanaChapman  Год назад

      My apologies for the apparent inconsistencies! It's very hard to try to explain all the nuances of my coaching in a video like this. The model is a bit too simple and I only use it for some clients. I do consider it more applicable to people who are moderately active and not far from their target weight. For you, I would suggest that you choose a reasonable calorie target and seeing how it goes. Given what you're seen over the past couple of weeks, maybe that's 1,800-2,000 calories. You can make adjustments from there.
      But it's also important to make sure that you're counting calories accurately: ruclips.net/video/CdqBtZEVBAA/видео.html

I read somewhere (I don't remember where) that by eating too much less than our BMR, our body can get used to it and it can be harder to lose weight. But then, what should I do then ? Eating more then decrease little by little ? My BMR is so high I don't think I'll be able to eat this much :p

      It’s best to just set a starting point and see how it goes. No equation will be perfect, as there is so much variation from person to person. And most people don’t track calories very well. So pick a number and see what happens for you.

    @IvanaChapman Okay so from my understanding, in order to lose weight, you have to decrease your calorie intake by the calculation from 13 or a certain number, or is it from 500? For me, 13 x 225= 2,925 so this means I subtract 500 which gives, 2,925 - 500= 2,425. and from here, I'm a little confused, do I start from here 2,425 or 2,925? Am I supposed to divide or subtract somewhere in order to lose weight?

      The idea of “starvation mode”, where your body stores fat at low calories doesn’t seem to apply unless someone is extremely malnourished (actual starvation or eating disorders). I may do a video about that at some point, as it’s often misunderstood!
      It’s hard to know what the issue is in your case…too many possibilities. How long have you been consistently eating (what you believe to be) 1600 calories? How much protein are you taking in? Have you had blood work done to see if you have medical issues that could be affecting you?

    In 28F, 136lb and 155cm, uk clothing size 12-14/Large, 20% fat, BMI over weight. I've been eating 1200-1300 a day for months, I've increased my activity from sedentary to light, regular excersise (i have chronic fatigue) but ive not lost anything since i got to my current weight and i yoyo up and down a few pounds from week to week. I was 154 and lost that through slimming world but once i got to 138lb i stopped loosing and started gaining so i switched back to calorie counting and lost 2lb to begin with and then nothing. I count everything, I've cut out all junk food and eat mainly whole foods and have been foccusing on my macro nutrients so I'm eating a whole and balanced diet. I feel like my only option is to eat 800k calories but everywhere says its dangerous. Any advice?

      The idea is that you eat at up to 500 calories BELOW your estimated maintenance calories. 270 x 13 = 3,510. So you might start by eating 3000ish calories. But if you're not very active you may want to start a bit lower.
