*Reference example: female equation, age 40, 5 ft 4 in, 172 lb, target 160 lb, and light activity. Estimated maintenance is 1,973 Cal per day; the active McDonald's day totals 1,740 Cal, a 233 Cal daily gap. Using the 3,500-Calorie-per-pound planning approximation, that is about 12.2 lb over six months, which rounds to the 12 lb headline. Actual results vary.
