Total daily energy expenditure is your maintenance estimate — the calories that keep your weight where it is. A sustainable deficit sits modestly below it; crash numbers backfire.
Metabolism adapts, medications matter, and the same deficit lands differently for different bodies. That's the gap a clinician closes — reviewing your full picture and adjusting as your body responds.
30-second check
Two questions. No email required, no commitment — just a straight answer about whether we can see you, before you give us anything.
We check your state first because our clinicians can only treat patients where they're licensed. Nothing you enter here is stored or sent anywhere.
Only used to compute your result in your browser — never sent or stored.
This is an eligibility signal, not medical advice or a guarantee of treatment. A licensed clinician makes every clinical decision after reviewing your full intake, and approval is never guaranteed.
