Weight-loss calories
Calories for weight loss
Weight loss starts with a calorie deficit, but the useful question is how large that deficit should be for your current phase.
Mild versus moderate cuts
A mild cut often preserves routine and training quality better. A moderate cut can work, but it usually requires more attention to hunger, recovery, and adherence.
Why the exact number changes
Calorie needs change as body weight, activity, and routine change. That means a target that worked a month ago may need a small adjustment now.
