Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Solita needs to consume around 350 calories per day in order to lose weight. Follow the calorie content per cup that is on the package labels of k/d and you can adjust her amount per day accordingly. I hope this helps and thanks for posting!
