A. of at least 30 % fewer calories than that which they would normally eat, but that otherwise - lacks parallelism
B.with at least 30% fewer calories than what they would normally eat though otherwise it - improper modifier!
C.that has at least 30% fewer of the calories that they would normally eat, but otherwise it - awkward sentence framing
D.that has at least 30% fewer calories than they would normally eat but that otherwise - improper comparison
E. that has at least 30% fewer calories than that which they would normally eat,though that otherwise.
