Energy In vs. Energy Out.
Total Daily Energy Expenditure is how many calories you burn in a day, including exercise. To lose weight, you must eat less than this number.
High protein intake (1.6g to 2.2g per kg) helps preserve muscle mass while in a calorie deficit, ensuring you lose fat, not muscle.
We recommend a deficit of 300-500 calories. Aggressive diets often lead to muscle loss and the "yoyo effect" where weight comes back.
