Metabolic Deficit Math: Mifflin-St Jeor Equations & 1-Year Projections
The Losertown Calorie projection model uses metabolic rate physics to map weight loss timelines over 4, 8, 12, 24, and 52 weeks. By calculating your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), it projects fat loss as your caloric deficit compounds over time.
The Mifflin-St Jeor Clinical BMR Equations
For Men: BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in yrs) + 5
For Women: BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in yrs) - 161
The 3,500 kcal Deficit Rule
One pound of human adipose adipose tissue stores approximately 3,500 kilocalories of chemical energy. A cumulative daily deficit of 500 kcal produces exactly 1 lb of fat loss per 7-day cycle.
Metabolic Adaptation Dynamic
As you shed body mass, your BMR naturally decreases because a smaller body requires less basal energy to maintain vital functions. Projections adjust dynamically at each multi-week milestone.
