The Blueprint Calculator

This calculator will help you to choose the right Blueprint for you.

It takes into account a number of key personal characteristics. It also asks you how much you want to lose per month. It ranges from wanting to maintain your current weight through to losing up to 4 kg per month.

This is the range and speed of weight loss which has shown to be safe, healthy and sustainable.

If you just want to ease yourself into weight loss then choose a slow reduction. If on the other hand, you really want to focus and get faster results, then choose a higher weight loss speed.

For some combinations of body weight the calculator will not allow you to lose weight at the higher speeds. If this happens please choose a lower speed and recalculate.

The calculator will tell you approximately how many calories per day you need to consume to achieve your selected monthly weight loss.

Make sure you have the correct units of measurement selected, for example kilograms or pounds. Note down the number of calories calculated for you, and proceed to the Get your own Blueprint page to get the Blueprint that is the right match for you.
