What's a Calorie Deficit and How Do You Find Yours?

The Mental Reps Podcast - A podcast by Deanna Magro - Thursdays

On this episode I define and explain some very overused and under-explained terms in diet culture. You'll learn what a calorie deficit is, and how to best find yours using some simple math and easy tricks. The key is finding a calorie amount you can comfortably follow, while still seeing progress towards your goals. Weight loss doesn't have to be complicated, and I hope this simple breakdown makes it a lot easier. For Reference *as mentioned in the episode* Male BMR formula: 66 + (6.23 × weight in pounds) + (12.7 × height in inches) − (6.8 × age in years) Female BMR formula: 655 + (4.35 × weight in pounds) + (4.7 × height in inches) − (4.7 × age in years)
