- —: Current weight (from slider input)
- —: Ideal weight (computed target)
- —: Excess weight (kg above ideal)
- Overweight: Body condition (placeholder score)
Assessing the starting weight gap
Placeholder text describing how the initial weight gap is assessed.
Setting a Safe Target Weight Loss Rate
A gradual pace protects muscle mass and organ health.
- 1-2%: Safe rate (of body weight per week)
- —: Weekly goal (kg per week)
- High: Risk of fast loss (placeholder note)
- Weekly: Recommended check (placeholder cadence)
Why gradual loss rate matters
Placeholder text on why a gradual weekly loss rate is chosen.
Calculating the Required Daily Calorie Deficit
Deficit size is derived from the desired weekly loss rate.
- —: Daily deficit (kcal below maintenance)
- ~7700: Energy per kg fat (kcal placeholder constant)
- —: Maintenance calories (placeholder baseline)
- —: Deficit ratio (placeholder percent)

- —: New daily ration (placeholder grams)
- 2-3: Meals per day (placeholder split)
- <10%: Treat allowance (placeholder share)
- Weight control: Food type (placeholder diet)
