Daily Deficit Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Daily Deficit (D) is:

\[ \text{D} = \text{C} - \text{B} \]

Where:

\(\text{D}\) is the daily deficit in calories
\(\text{C}\) is the daily calories consumed
\(\text{B}\) is the daily calories burned

What is a Daily Deficit?

A daily deficit refers to the number of calories that are burned in excess of the calories consumed in a day. This deficit is crucial for weight loss, as it indicates that the body is using more energy than it is taking in, leading to the burning of stored fat for energy. Maintaining a daily deficit over time can result in weight loss and improved health outcomes.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Daily Calories Consumed (C) = 2500
Daily Calories Burned (B) = 3000

Using the formula:

\[ \text{D} = \text{C} - \text{B} = 2500 - 3000 = -500 \]

The Daily Deficit (D) is -500 calories.
