Maintenance, estimated honestly
GLP-1s suppress appetite so effectively that under-eating — especially under-eating protein — becomes the practical risk. This estimates maintenance with the standard Mifflin-St Jeor equation and shows a moderate deficit; it deliberately does not offer aggressive cuts.
Pair with the protein & water tool — preserving lean mass is the quiet job of a GLP-1 year.
Maintenance ≈ 2,300 kcal/dayModerate deficit (−500) ≈ 1,800 kcal/day
The deficit figure floors at commonly cited supervised minimums; going lower is a decision to make with a clinician, especially on appetite-suppressing medication.
