underweight and overweight RES

my one 10 year old female RES, Speedy is showing a bit of extra skin hanging from the front of her legs, while my little RES, Soup's kinda caved in, in the same spot.

i know that i must feed speedy mostly greens, veg and a treat of fruit or fish now and then, should i limit her intake of turtle sticks? she gets about a spoonful everyday.

Soup, at least 4 years old, on the other hand, i want to get her to just fill out a bit after wandering dry in our city for a couple months. what kind of foods and live/defrosted/ prey can i feed thats packed with calories? turtle food sticks are disappearing with him like crazy and i want them to have a wide variety and to know "Real" food.

don't worry im taking them into the vet to get the ultimate say......
