Compounded Tirzepatide

$169.00 / month

A healthcare provider may prescribe a compounded drug if determined that it is medically appropriate. Compounded semaglutide & tirzepatide are not approved, or evaluated for safety, efficacy, or quality by the FDA.

Six Science-Backed Strategies to Hit Your Goal Weight

Your calorie number is the foundation. These six principles are the structure built on top of it.

Prioritise Protein at Every Meal

Aim for 1.2–1.6g of protein per kg of bodyweight daily. Protein keeps you full longer, has the highest thermic effect of any macronutrient (your body burns ~30% of its calories just digesting it), and is the single most effective tool for preserving lean muscle while in a deficit.

Lift Weights 3× Per Week Minimum

Resistance training builds metabolically active muscle, which permanently raises your resting calorie burn. Even 3 sessions of 45 minutes per week produces measurable body composition changes within 8 weeks — regardless of your starting fitness level.

Drink 500ml Water Before Each Meal

A randomised controlled trial found drinking 500ml of water 30 minutes before meals reduced caloric intake by 13% on average. Water also slightly boosts metabolism and reduces the likelihood of confusing thirst with hunger — one of the most common causes of excess snacking.

Protect 7–9 Hours of Sleep

Sleep deprivation elevates cortisol and ghrelin (the hunger hormone) while suppressing leptin (satiety signal). Studies show people eating the same calorie deficit lose up to 55% less fat when sleeping under 6 hours vs 8.5. Sleep is a metabolic intervention, not optional.

Fill Half Your Plate with Vegetables

High-volume, low-calorie vegetables create satiety through stomach stretch receptors without significant calories. This simple rule reduces caloric density of each meal by 25–35% without reducing physical volume — so you stay fuller for longer on fewer calories.

Track Steps, Not Just Workouts

Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) accounts for up to 350 additional calories burned per day in active vs sedentary people. A 10,000-step daily goal adds the equivalent of a 30-minute run in calorie burn, without any gym time. Start wherever you are and build up.

Methods That Work Without Counting

The Plate Method
½ plate vegetables, ¼ protein, ¼ complex carbs. No calorie counting required — just portion geometry. Used by the NHS and most clinical dietitians.
Saves ~300 kcal/day on average
16:8 Intermittent Fasting
Eat within an 8-hour window (e.g. noon–8pm). The compressed eating window naturally reduces total daily intake without requiring food restriction within it.
Saves ~200–400 kcal/day passively
Protein-First Eating Order
Eat protein and vegetables before touching carbohydrates at every meal. Studies show this reduces post-meal blood glucose spike by 30% and reduces subsequent calorie intake at the next meal.
Reduces next-meal intake by ~12%
Eliminate Liquid Calories
Juice, alcohol, soda, fancy coffees and smoothies are among the least satiating foods per calorie. Switching to water, black coffee, and sparkling water alone can remove 300–600 kcal/day from the average diet.
Saves 300–600 kcal/day for most people
Close the Kitchen at 8pm
Most unplanned calorie consumption happens after dinner. A hard stop time removes decision fatigue. Pair with a non-food reward (tea, reading, a walk) to replace the habitual evening snack.
Eliminates 150–400 kcal of unplanned intake

How to Reduce Calories Without Feeling Hungry

The biggest mistake people make is cutting calories by eating less food. The smarter strategy is eating differently — swapping high-calorie-density foods for lower-density alternatives that fill the same physical space in your stomach.

Below are high-impact swaps that save 60–340 calories per meal without reducing meal size or leaving you hungry. These changes alone can account for half your daily deficit target.

FAQs — Weight Loss Calculator

How accurate is this calculator — can I trust the results?

This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is the most accurate BMR formula for the general population according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It’s the same formula used by most registered dietitians and clinical weight management programmes. That said, all calculators are estimates — individual metabolism can vary by ±15% due to genetics, thyroid function, medication, and muscle-to-fat ratio. Use your result as a starting point, track your actual weight over 3–4 weeks, and adjust by 100–150 kcal if you’re not seeing expected progress.

Yes — every 5–8kg of weight lost, you should recalculate. A lighter body requires fewer calories to maintain, so your TDEE decreases as you lose weight. Failing to recalculate means your deficit shrinks over time even though you haven’t changed what you’re eating, which is why weight loss often stalls after the first few months. Re-enter your current weight here every 4–6 weeks to keep your calorie target calibrated.

Most popular calorie calculators use aggressive deficit levels (750–1,000 kcal/day) by default, which produces faster results on paper but causes significant muscle loss and metabolic adaptation in practice. This calculator uses clinically safe deficit ranges of 200–750 kcal/day. A higher calorie target you can sustain for 6 months will always produce better body composition results than a crash diet that triggers binge-restrict cycles. Sustainable slightly beats aggressive every time.

This is extremely common and almost always expected. The first 1–2 weeks often show a larger drop due to water and glycogen loss, followed by a slower phase of actual fat loss. If after 4 consistent weeks at your calorie target you haven’t lost approximately 80% of the predicted amount, reduce your daily intake by 150 kcal and reassess in another 4 weeks. Also verify you’re tracking cooking oils, sauces, and drinks accurately — these are the most commonly underreported sources.

Yes — and this is where medically supervised care makes a significant difference. GLP-1 medications (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide) work synergistically with calorie restriction by reducing appetite signalling, making it significantly easier to stay within your calorie target consistently. Sermorelin supports the process by stimulating growth hormone, which accelerates fat oxidation and preserves lean muscle during the deficit. Combining this calculator’s guidance with a physician-supervised medical protocol consistently produces superior outcomes compared to diet alone.
