Staying within this range covers your needs - going a little higher is fine too.

These numbers are your starting point - not a finish line.

Once you begin tracking, pay attention to how your body actually responds over 2-3 weeks. If you're losing weight faster than your target rate, consider adding a little food back in - losing too quickly can mean you're losing muscle alongside fat, which works against you in the long run. If you're not losing at all, a small reduction might help. Your body is not a calculator, and real life - stress, sleep, hormones, and activity - all affect how you respond. The goal is to find a calorie target that gets you results at a pace that feels sustainable, because the best approach is always the one you can actually stick to.

These are estimates based on the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, one of the most widely validated methods for calculating calorie needs. Individual results vary based on body composition, hormones, and other factors. Use these as a starting point and adjust based on how your body responds.
