So, by default, your body will burn e.g. 2000 kcal/day. Then if you eat food you take in calories. And if you exercise you burn calories. If you are in a net deficit, you lose weight. On top of that, you have a certain weight loss goal. For example for me that might be 500 kcal/day of deficit, so that every week you burn 7 500 = 3500 kcal, which is roughly 1 pound of fat. So the idea is to have two counters tha…

What This Teaches

• How ML ideas can be made interactive and inspectable in the browser.
• Useful for teaching interfaces and lightweight demos.

Why It Matters

This matters as part of Karpathy’s broader pattern: compress hard technical systems into readable, inspectable, working artifacts.
