Weight loss is a result of creating a calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories and increasing physical activity. The number of calories needed to create a deficit depends on your age, gender, weight, height, and activity level.
To determine how many calories you should aim to consume each day, you can use an online calculator or consult with a doctor or a certified nutritionist like me. As someone who has lost over 100 pounds, I know It can get a bit confusing, but I’ve made it easier for you:

Remember that these calculators are estimates and may not be 100% accurate for everyone. But they do give you an idea of the calorie ranges that can help you get started on your journey.
AND weight loss is not just about the number of calories you consume and the amount of physical activity you do. Other factors, like stress, sleep, and genetics, can also play a role in weight management. Very important to focus on eating balanced and nutritious meals and to find physical activities that you enjoy and that you can stick with long-term.
