🧠 Why I Built a Full Rucking Weight Loss Calculator

Not long ago, I released a simple Rucking Calorie Calculator — and it’s helped a lot of people finally understand how many calories they’re really burning with a weighted pack.

Recently, I updated that tool to also include pack type — weighted vest vs backpack — because it matters. A rear-loaded pack (like most rucksacks) changes your center of gravity, posture, and strain. In fact, it can burn 7% more calories than a balanced vest. That update made the calorie calculator even more accurate.

But something still felt missing.

So I built a new tool — the Rucking Weight Loss Calculator.

🔍 The Bigger Question

People don’t just want to know how many calories they’re burning on a single ruck.

They want to know:

“How long will it take to lose this weight if I keep doing this?”

This new tool gives you that answer.

🛠️ What It Does

You enter:

• Your current weight, target weight, height, age, and sex
• Your daily calorie intake
• Your rucking distance, pack weight, pack type, and intensity level

It tells you:

• 🔥 How many calories you’re burning from rucking
• 💪 Your total daily calorie burn (including BMR and activity)
• 📉 Your daily calorie deficit
• ⏳ Estimated days to reach your fat loss goal

It’s not a gimmick — it’s the math.
And the numbers reflect what most smart watches miss: the weight you’re carrying, the terrain you’re on, and the real effort it takes to ruck consistently.

⚖️ This Is How I Lost 90 Pounds

This isn’t theory.
I used rucking — and consistency — to drop over 90 pounds. Or even better… get below 10% body fat. I used rucking to burn the last bit of fat, the hardest bit.
Now I’m a certified personal trainer building the tools I wish existed when I started.

Whether you’re using the calorie calculator to estimate your next session, or the weight loss calculator to plan your long-term goal — these tools are for you.

Because nobody else is giving you accurate numbers.
And inaccurate numbers can kill your momentum.

This gives it back and It’s free 🙂
