The RDN reviewed Tyrа’s energy intаke frоm her 24-hоur recаll. On the Repоrt, compare Tyra's actual energy intake to her Goal for Calories. By approximately how much would Tyra need to reduce her daily energy intake to match her Goal for Calories to achieve weight loss of 1 pound per week? (Keep in mind that you indicated Tyra's weight-loss goal when you set up her profile in Cronometer, so her Goal for Calories is calculated for weight loss.)
