How the Diet and Weight Loss Planner Works

The Science behind forecasting, calculating and planning your weight loss

Losing weight involves many variables that differ for every individual, but there is still a core science that can form the foundation for your diet plan. The widely-accepted science behind the diet and weight loss planner is:

  • One pound of mostly-fat body weight is the equivalent of 3,500 calories of either food or exercise.
  • The amount of calories you should cut from your diet is between 20% and 40% of your normal calorie requirement.
  • Moderate exercise is considered to be 4.5 METs. (A MET is a rate of energy expenditure, similar to watts.) Vigorous exercise is 7 METs. Calorie consumption is: 1 calorie (technically, kilocalorie) per kilogram body weight per hour per MET.

Limitations of Body Weight Color Coding

The maths behind the body weight color coding, something called Body Mass Index (BMI), is applicable and useful for about 95% of the population. It is not useful for athletes or body builder types (but it’s unlikely they’ll use this calculator anyway). It is also no good for very tall people. Use the color coding as a guide to evaluate your body fat / weight.

The Calorie Reduction Recommendation in our diet and weight loss planner

This is the reduction compared to your estimated maintenance calorie consumption. If you are currently gaining weight, you need to reduce your calories even further.

  • Bicycling 10 miles per hour or faster
  • Non-casual swimming laps

Examples of Moderate Intensity Exercise

  • Walking briskly (around 3 miles per hour)
  • Water aerobics
  • Bicycling 6 to 10 miles per hour
  • Tennis (doubles)
  • Ballroom dancing
  • General gardening

Examples of Vigorous Intensity Exercise

  • Jogging or running
  • Hiking uphill or with a heavy backpack
  • Jumping rope
  • Tennis (singles)
  • Aerobic dancing
  • Heavy gardening (continuous digging or hoeing)

Keeping to your diet and weight loss plan

Make Lists

If you’re looking to get more organised when planning your calorie intake, keep a food diary, or just list what you plan to eat to try and be a bit healthier. You should remember to list your breakfast, lunch and dinner each day and make a shopping list before you go to the shops.
