Question 1

How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

A 500 kcal/day deficit below TDEE yields about 0.5kg per week — a widely accepted safe rate. Avoid staying below 1200 kcal/day long-term.

Question 2

Does the 30/40/30 macro split suit everyone?

Accepted Answer

It is a general balanced split (protein 30%, carbs 40%, fat 30%). Raise protein when building muscle; adjust with a professional for your training load.

Question 3

Where does the food calorie data come from?

Accepted Answer

Average nutrition values per 100g (or 100ml) of common foods for reference; actual values vary by variety and cooking method.
