Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Weight Loss Percentage Calculator work?
This calculator compares your current weight to your starting weight and calculates the percentage change. It works for both weight loss and weight gain scenarios.
Can I use this calculator for any unit system?
Yes, the calculator supports both Imperial (lbs) and Metric (kg) units.
Which unit system should I use?
Use whichever system you're most comfortable with. The calculator supports both imperial (pounds/lbs) and metric (kilograms/kg) units. The results will be the same percentage regardless of the unit system used.
Why is tracking weight percentage better than absolute weight?
Tracking weight change as a percentage provides a more meaningful measure of progress, as it accounts for your starting weight. For example, losing 10 pounds means something different for someone starting at 150 pounds versus 300 pounds.
How often should I weigh myself?
Most health professionals recommend weighing yourself once a week, at the same time of day (preferably in the morning before eating). This helps account for natural daily weight fluctuations while still tracking meaningful changes.
Why is tracking weight change important?
Monitoring weight changes helps you understand the effectiveness of your diet or fitness regime and allows for better health management.
What is a healthy rate of weight loss?
A healthy and sustainable rate of weight loss is typically 1-2 pounds (0.45-0.9 kg) per week, or about 1% of your body weight. Losing weight too quickly can be unhealthy and may lead to muscle loss.
