Fat-loss timeline calculator

A rough timeline and daily deficit for reaching a target body-fat percentage.

Assumes every kilogram lost is fat and uses the approximation that 1 kg of body fat holds about 7,700 kcal. Real loss is rarely this steady, and some lean mass may be lost too. Nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere.
