NomiHow it is calculated
Target = estimated TDEE − selected daily deficit. The weekly estimate uses about 7,700 kcal per kilogram as a simplified energy conversion and applies a common safety floor.
Worked example
Example: a 300 kcal daily deficit totals 2,100 kcal in a week, a simplified mathematical equivalent of about 0.27 kg. Real body-weight change is not linear.
