Lose ~10kg without losing muscle
Desk job, trains 3×/week, 78kg at 165cm. Has tried low-calorie phone-app diets that left her hungry and rebounding. Wants a number she can trust and a plan she can follow.
- 1
Find maintenance: Uses the TDEE Calculator → ~2,050 kcal/day at her stats and activity.
- 2
Set a sane deficit: The Calorie Deficit Calculator sets ~1,550 kcal/day — a ~500 kcal deficit, about 0.5kg/week, not a crash.
- 3
Protect muscle with protein: The Protein Calculator targets ~125g/day (≈1.6g/kg) so weight lost is fat, not muscle.
- 4
Make it automatic: Follows the 7-Day Weight Loss Meal Plan built around that calorie + protein target instead of planning every meal from scratch.
- 5
Adjust by the trend: Checks her weekly average weight; if it stalls 2–3 weeks, trims ~100 kcal or adds daily steps.
Projection: At a steady ~0.5kg/week, ~10kg is roughly a 20-week horizon — illustrative only; real pace depends on adherence, sleep, and individual metabolism.
