Discover the weight loss pyramid, prioritizing calorie deficit, macronutrients, and exercise regimen to achieve fat loss while demystifying meal timing, frequency, and supplements.

Learn how a calorie deficit drives weight loss through calories in versus calories out, explained by the first law of thermodynamics, and the negative, neutral, and positive balance states.

Calculate your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) by estimating BMR and activity. Maintain neutral, negative, or positive balance by adjusting calories and tracking weight weekly, tweaking 100 calories as needed.

Learn how to set a fat-loss calorie deficit about 20 percent below maintenance, with examples for non-exercisers and those who train, showing 1600 and 2000 calories.
