Great article. Should help people on the topic of smaller or larger calorie deficits by approximate body fat mass.

If you are talking per day as the article is. NO WAY! They are talking biggest loser style obese for that sort of deficit.
I've got burn the fat, feed the muscle but haven't got around to reading it yet.0 -
A person can't lose a pound of fat a day. Fat loss and scale weight loss are two different thing. It's not easy to lose a pound of fat, but it's easy to lose a pound of scale weight. Quick weight loss is nothing but water. To lose pounds of fat, you will have to lose body fat percentage and if you could lose a pound of fat a day, you will eventually die.0

Interesting read. Thanks for posting it.0

Note this is only physiologically and mathematically possible for people who are already obese i.e. (generally speaking) 30% bodyfat or higher.
Also requires loads of water intake to flush the fat out.
I've done it, both accidentally and intentionally, and only when I was much heavier (~32% bodyfat) than I am now (23% bodyfat).0 -

Great article! I like hard numbers like 31 kcal/day. I feel like I just got another tool for the ol' toolbox! Thanks so much for sharing. My clients will certainly appreciate this!0

I know its probably not really fat based on what everyone says. But I have been dropping weight much quicker than I expected since using this tool (a week and a bit). I've been trying to drink a lot but I eat as much salt as ever (incorporating veg into my life - can sort of handle, putting them in my mouth without coating them in a liberal dusting of salt... fraid not, salt doesn't have calories, I don't have high blood pressure, sometimes I even have LOW blood pressure).
But if all the weight I've lost is water, wouldn't I basically just loose the same weight over and over each day instead of losing more each day?
But if it's not, when I set the thing for just under 500kcal deficit... obviously that must be wrong... because since the middle of the week before last week I have lost almost 7lbs which works out at just under half an lb a day.
And I thought I was aiming for a lb a week.
And I can't help noticing that while this site says my maintainence calories are 2100, one which took my waist measurement as well as the information taken on here said it was 2700 (which I have to say shocked me as it was very high and I figured it must be wrong).0 -

This site is purely mathematical. There can be errors in recording intake and expenditure as well as bmr differences (muscle mass varies), activity factors etc.
It is possible that you are running at a larger deficit than MFP says and a portion of weight loss could be water also.0 -
