The Ultimate Factor in Weight Loss and Weight Gain
Exercise? Calories? Sleep?
In short, the answer is calories.
To lose weight, a person needs to be eating in a deficit and to gain weight, we would need to be eating in a surplus.
To lose or gain 1 pound you need to be in a deficit or surplus of * 3600 * calories.
A generally safe amount of weight to lose is about 1-2~ pounds a week.
Being in a deficit of 500 calories per day is a safe place to start and will keep you on track to lose about 1 pound a week.
If you’re wondering what 500 calories looks like or wonder how many calories you’re eating per day, you can download and track the foods you’re eating with tools such as fitness and nutrient tracking apps 👇
This will help you navigate which foods are more dense in calories than others and will provide guidance on what foods to be mindful of consuming.
