About Calories and Calorie Deficit
Calories are units of energy that your body uses to function. When you consume more calories than your body needs, the excess is stored as fat. A calorie deficit occurs when you consume fewer calories than your body needs, leading to weight loss as your body uses stored fat for energy.
Types of Calorie Deficit
Mild Calorie Deficit: A small reduction in daily calorie intake, usually around 10-20% below the maintenance level.
Moderate Calorie Deficit: A moderate reduction in daily calorie intake, usually around 20-30% below the maintenance level.
Aggressive Calorie Deficit: A significant reduction in daily calorie intake, usually 30% or more below the maintenance level.
