Yeah, yeah, youโve heardโit all before: โcalories in, calories out.โ But itโs notโenough to simply maintain a calorie deficit. To lose 1kg of fat per week (thatโs roughlyโ2.2 pounds, a firm, healthy target), you need a consistent deficit of around 1100 calories each day. Fat, fat is like a storage tank that contains about 7,700 caloriesโof energy per one kilo. So doing simpleโmath: 7,700 calories / 7 days = 1,100 calorie deficit per day.
