If you are in a calorie surplus, your weight goes up. If you are in a calorie deficit, your weight goes down. MacroCodex uses that relationship to estimate your true maintenance calories over time: https://macrocodex.app/

This can be used to gain or lose weight. You simply need to eat above your maintenance calorie line to gain weight and below it to lose weight. No ads, no subscriptions, no payments, 16k users already.

Interesting. How long does it usually take before the maintenance estimate becomes accurate?

[faangguyindia]

Usually in 16-21 days

Does it converge faster if someone logs their weight daily instead of weekly?

[faangguyindia]

yes, daily weighing helps a lot more so initially.
