What is this calculator?

Rough mass gain projection from a calorie surplus model. The formula, a worked example, and a reference table are below. Results are for education only, not medical advice.

How it works

Rough mass change (kg) ≈ (daily surplus kcal × 7 × weeks) ÷ 7700 (fat-mass teaching constant).

Example
