What Is A Weight Loss Calculator Used For?

A weight loss calculator can help you estimate the fraction of fat loss while dieting. Online calculators are available to help dieters follow the path to reach their weight goals.

All of these calculators work with the same formula (with a few small variations). The percentage of weight loss is equal to the weight in pounds lost during the diet divided by the initial weight before the diet, multiplied by 100. If the initial weight is 200 pounds and the diet helps you lose 25 pounds, the percentage the weight lost will be (25/200) * 100 or 12.5%
