Theo has sprained his ankle and will not be able to play basketball for the next month. He has decided to reduce his energy intake by $500$kcal per day to avoid weight gain. He has decided to focus his efforts on his lunch meal by switching from the Burger King Whopper cheeseburger to a McDonald's Premium Grilled Classic Chicken Sandwich and Diet Coke. The Diet Coke has $0$ kcal. With these changes, will Theo meet his goal of reducing his intake by $500$ kcal?

These two changes will result in a reduced calorie intake, but it will be only approximately $390$kcal.

These two changes will result in a reduced calorie intake of approximately $700$kcal.

Since he is still eating at a fast$-$food restaurant, the kilocalorie content is not important. All foods from fast$-$food restaurants cause weight gain. These two changes will result in reducing his intake enough to meet his goal.
