BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the calories your body burns at rest, just to keep you alive. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) adds your activity level on top of that — it's your maintenance calorie level.
Your weight, projected with a dynamic model — not a straight line, since your calorie needs drop as you lose weight.
Vygor turns your calorie target into daily meal plans, recipes, workouts and progress tracking — free to download.
The timeline chart uses a simplified dynamic energy-balance model, similar in spirit to the NIH Body Weight Planner: as you lose weight your BMR and TDEE drop too, so a fixed calorie target produces a shrinking deficit over time, which is why loss decelerates instead of following a straight line. It doesn't capture everything — metabolic adaptation beyond body-weight change, water-weight swings, or shifts in muscle vs. fat — so treat the curve and date as a rough guide, not a guarantee. Recalculating your target every 10–15 lb (5–7 kg) lost will keep the plan accurate as your body changes.
Estimates only, based on the Mifflin-St Jeor equation and a standard energy-balance model (~3,500 kcal per lb / ~7,700 kcal per kg of body fat). Actual results vary by individual. This is not medical advice — consult a healthcare provider before starting any weight-loss plan, especially if your calculated calorie target is at or near the safety floor shown above.
