Formula: Calendar Date Energy Projection
Target Date = Today + [(Weight Diff × 7700) / (Deficit × 7 × 0.92)] × 7 daysApplies calendar day conversion to metabolic deficit duration.
Model Assumptions
- Continuous adherence without prolonged diet breaks
Variables & Standard Units
| Symbol | Physiological Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Today | Current calendar baseline date | dimensionless |
Scientific Limitations
