Answer:

1600 calories consumed daily

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to:

1 pound of weight (0.45 kg) equals 3,500 calories.

paraelll we suppose the formula

calories / days of the week = 3500/7 = 500 calories per day.

so there are 500 calories that you must reduce from the diet, so according to calorie consumption:

2100-500 = 1600 calories consumed daily
