Why NutraSafe for Weight Loss?

Losing weight doesn't have to mean expensive subscriptions, confusing meal plans, or giving up the foods you love. NutraSafe takes a simple approach: help you understand exactly what you're eating, track your calories accurately, and make progress you can see.

Unlike American-focused apps like MyFitnessPal or Lose It, NutraSafe is built specifically for UK users. Our database includes products from every major British supermarket—Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, M&S, Waitrose, and Co-op. No more searching for "UK version" or finding nutrition info that doesn't match your packet.

But we go further than just calorie counting. NutraSafe tracks your vitamins and minerals too, ensuring your weight loss is healthy weight loss. Because dropping pounds while becoming deficient in essential nutrients isn't the goal—feeling better is.

Understanding Calorie Deficit for Weight Loss

Weight loss comes down to one simple principle: eat fewer calories than your body burns. This is called a calorie deficit. When you're in a deficit, your body uses stored fat for energy, and you lose weight.

The NHS recommends a deficit of 500-600 calories per day for safe, sustainable weight loss. This typically results in losing 0.5-1kg (1-2lbs) per week. Faster isn't always better—crash diets often lead to muscle loss and rebound weight gain.

NutraSafe calculates your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) based on your age, height, weight, and activity level. Then it subtracts an appropriate amount to create your daily calorie target. Hit that target consistently, and you'll see results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best free weight loss app UK?

NutraSafe is one of the best free weight loss apps for UK users. It features a comprehensive database of British supermarket foods, barcode scanning, calorie and macro tracking, and weight progress monitoring. Unlike many apps, NutraSafe also tracks vitamins and minerals to ensure healthy weight loss.

How many calories should I eat to lose weight UK?

The NHS recommends around 2,000 calories daily for women and 2,500 for men to maintain weight. To lose weight safely, aim for a deficit of 500-600 calories per day, which typically results in losing 0.5-1kg per week. NutraSafe calculates your personal target based on your stats and goals.

Is NutraSafe better than MyFitnessPal for weight loss?

For UK users, NutraSafe offers several advantages: it's built specifically for British foods and supermarkets, tracks vitamins and minerals (which MyFitnessPal doesn't in the free version), includes food additive scanning, and has no ads. MyFitnessPal has a larger global database but many UK products are user-submitted with potential errors.

Can I lose weight without paying for a premium app?

Yes, NutraSafe's free tier includes calorie tracking, barcode scanning, and access to the UK food database. Free users can log up to 5 foods per day. Premium unlocks unlimited logging and advanced features from £2.99/month, but the free version is fully functional for basic weight loss tracking.

How quickly can I lose weight safely?

The NHS recommends losing 0.5-1kg (1-2lbs) per week for sustainable weight loss. This requires a daily deficit of 500-600 calories. Losing weight faster than this often means losing muscle mass and water weight rather than fat, and typically leads to regaining the weight later.
