I am not confident in this answer. I'll give it a go.

Well he is losing 1000 calories a day, each of those 1000 of each day representing a fraction of the 7716 he needs to lose to lose 1 pound.
$\therefore$ 3000-2000=1000 7716/1000= 7.716 days which is how many days it takes to lose 1 kg, now how long does it take to lose 13kg?
