One kilo = 7,700 calories
“I generally would recommend 0.5–1 kilogram per week across the board,” Spendlove said. “Losing more than that is often not sustainable.”
“There are 7,700 calories in one kilogram, so if you wanted to lose weight at a rate of one kilogram per week, you would need to reduce your overall calorie intake by 7,700 calories, or 1,100 calories per day,” Tuck said.
If reducing 1,100 calories each day feels unachievable, to lose 0.5 kilograms per week you need to be in a deficit of 3,500 calories, which equates to about 500 calories per day.
