Taco Bell meal planner

This is an estimate, not a promise. It assumes you eat the daily calories shown, including extras. Your results may be different. The starting numbers are an example, not a personal recommendation.

The chart assumes you eat the daily calories shown, including any snacks and other drinks. A smaller or skipped meal leaves more room for other food; it does not make the chart predict faster weight loss.

Your weight, age, height, sex choice, and activity feed into the Mifflin-St Jeor formula [a way to estimate daily calorie needs]. The chart uses a simple estimate of 3,500 calories per pound and 30.4375 days per month. Real weight loss is not a straight line.

The daily goal is at least 1,500 calories and no more than 1,000 calories below the estimated amount needed to stay at your weight. Automatically suggested three-meal days contain at least 1,200 calories. If you skip a meal or choose smaller meals yourself, the food can total less; the calories left are for other food, not a recommendation to eat less than the daily goal. Choose also lets you pick larger meals that put the day over goal. The chart pauses until your meals fit again. These limits do not tell us what is safe or enough for you. If your goal needs longer, the chart shows that.

The starting weights, 181 lb and 165 lb, come from U.S. adults' average reported current and ideal weights. Age 40, height 5 ft 6.2 in, light activity, and the average of the male and female formulas are example settings. They are not facts about you or a recommended goal weight.

For adults, not for pregnancy or breastfeeding. For personal advice, ask a qualified health professional or use the NIDDK Body Weight Planner. Meeting a calorie limit does not mean the day meets all your nutrition needs.
