Why Understanding Your Calorie Deficit Matters at Slym Wellness Clinic
At Slym Wellness, we emphasize controlled, sustainable fat loss that protects muscle and hormonal balance. Understanding your calorie deficit helps our providers create plans that support:
Healthy weight management
Metabolic balance and energy stability
Lean muscle preservation
Reduced inflammation and improved recovery
Our goal isn’t aggressive restriction—it’s building a deficit that works with your metabolism, not against it.
Understand Your Calorie Deficit
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This calculator is for educational purposes only and does not determine eligibility for medical treatment. A licensed provider must review your health history before making dietary recommendations.
Your calorie deficit is the gap between how many calories your body burns daily (TDEE) and how many you consume. Maintaining a moderate deficit helps reduce fat mass while preserving lean tissue—especially when supported by balanced nutrition, hydration, and strength training.
Enter your TDEE, select a deficit level, and input your goal weight loss above.
Our calculator will show:
A daily calorie target based on your chosen deficit
An estimated weekly weight loss rate
A projected timeline to reach your goal
You can use your TDEE from our TDEE Calculator or estimate your average daily calories burned.
Use your results as a guide for setting realistic nutrition targets.
Start with a 10–15% deficit for sustainable progress.
Pair your calorie plan with adequate protein and hydration.
Include strength training to maintain muscle mass.
Reassess your intake every 4–8 weeks as your weight and activity change.
At Slym Wellness, we use this data alongside your labs, hormone levels, and body composition to build a plan that supports metabolic restoration—not starvation.
