Compare calculators
Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Calorie Deficit Calculator
Find the daily calorie target you need to hit to lose weight at a chosen pace — the operational number that turns "I want to lose 5 kg" into "eat 1,950 kcal a day starting Monday." Enter your TDEE (maintenance calories) and the rate at which you want to lose weight, and the calculator returns the daily intake target along with a projected timeline.
Ideal Weight Calculator
Estimate your "ideal" reference body weight from your height, biological sex, and body frame size using the Devine formula — originally created in 1974 for pharmacological dose calculation and still used clinically today. Useful as a rough planning anchor, but not a personal weight goal: it ignores muscle mass, age, and individual physiology.
