How Many Calories Should YOU Eat to Lose Weight? Stop Guessing!

How many calories should you actually eat to lose weight? 1200? 1500? 1800? There is no single calorie number that works for everyone. Your calorie needs depend on factors like your body size, activity, training, age and lifestyle. In this video, I explain how calorie deficit actually works, what maintenance calories mean, how to choose a reasonable starting deficit, and why simply eating as little as possible is NOT a smart fat-loss strategy. We’ll also talk about: • How to understand your maintenance calories • How to create a calorie deficit • Why 1200 calories is NOT a universal weight-loss target • Why your weight can fluctuate even when you’re losing fat • When you should actually adjust your calories • Why protein and strength training matter during fat loss The goal isn’t just to make the number on the weighing scale smaller. The goal is to lose body fat while maintaining muscle and making the process sustainable. 📲 Join my FREE WhatsApp Channel for practical, science-based fitness & nutrition guidance, tips and new video updates: Join my WhatsApp Channel⁠-https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaFj...
