My bird's pellets turn to dust. How much to feed for weight loss?

Question

My bird has switched to Lafeber’s Daily Diet pellet food. She gained too much weight with the other food she was on. I noticed she is eating it, but it’s turning into something similar to sawdust. She does seem to eat the dust though. I don’t know to give her more or not. I’m giving her 30cc of it a day. I don’t want her to get malnutritioned, but I don’t want her to gain weight. She needs to lose weight. What should I do? Should I have her eat the dust that’s left, or give her more pellets? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

I am assuming she was on a seed mix diet before, this is completely different, you do not need to limit the amount you give her, she needs to have food available all the time during the day, it may take time but this diet will help her loose weight.
