Details: Understanding your calorie needs helps maintain weight balance. Seeing fat gain in seconds provides perspective on daily calorie intake.
Tips: Enter weight in kg, height in cm, and age in years. Select your typical activity level for most accurate results.
Q1: Why calculate fat per second?
A: It helps visualize how small daily calorie surpluses accumulate into weight gain over time.
Q2: Is this calculation accurate for everyone?
A: It provides an estimate. Individual metabolism may vary based on muscle mass, genetics, and other factors.
Q3: How can I reduce fat gain?
A: Maintain calorie balance through diet and exercise. Even small increases in activity can make a difference.
Q4: What's a healthy rate of fat loss?
A: 1-2 lbs per week is generally safe and sustainable for most people.
Q5: Should I be concerned about small numbers?
