Tips for Accurate Measurements:
Stand upright and let the tape measure rest comfortably against your skin.
Be consistent with your measurements – always measure the same areas on the same side of your body.
Areas to Measure:
Neck: Measure just below your Adam's Apple.
Waist: Measure at the narrowest point, usually an inch or two above your navel.
Navel: Measure around your navel, keeping the tape straight.
Wrist, Forearm, Hips, Thigh, Calf: Measure at the widest points.

Determining Your Activity Level & Calories:
What’s Your Activity Level?
-
Sedentary (Little to no exercise): “You have a desk job or mostly sit throughout the day with minimal exercise.”
-
Lightly Active (1-3 times a week of exercise): “You walk frequently, do light exercise, or engage in activities like yoga or household chores.”
-
Moderately Active (3-4 intense workouts per week): “You do regular exercise (gym sessions, running, swimming) for about 3-4 days a week.”
-
Very Active (Intense exercise almost every day): “You work out daily or have a physically demanding job (like construction work).”
-
Extremely Active (Rigorous training or very physical job): “You’re an athlete or have a highly physically demanding job that involves hard labor or hours of intense physical activity.”
Choosing a Calorie Deficit:
-
A calorie deficit means eating fewer calories than your body burns in a day, which helps you lose weight. A larger deficit means faster weight loss, but it could also affect your energy levels and muscle mass.
-
What Deficit Should You Choose?
-
10-15% Deficit: Best for slow, steady fat loss while preserving muscle mass. Great for people who are just starting or don’t want to feel too hungry.
-
20-25% Deficit: A faster approach to fat loss. Suitable for those with a lot of weight to lose, but it might be more challenging to maintain.
-
30-35% Deficit: A very aggressive deficit for rapid weight loss. You may experience low energy, so this approach is best for short periods or under supervision.
