Yeah, yeah, you’ve heard it all before: “calories in, calories out.” But it’s not enough to simply maintain a calorie deficit. To lose 1kg of fat per week (that’s roughly 2.2 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 calories of energy per one kilo. So doing simple math: 7,700 calories / 7 days = 1,100 calorie deficit per day.
