The Challenges:
Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3000cR
Well, like yesterday, you will be playing in all the major game modes of Reach today due to the other Daily Challenges. This challenge, asking you to score at least a hundred kills overall in Reach today, should be easily taken care of by the other challenges as "Demon" will have you getting likely two games worth of Firefight kills, "Cannon Fodder" will have you get about a hundred or so kills, and finally "Cook 'em, Clean 'em!" will likely have you hitting about twenty kills or so. Just relax, do the other challenges, and this one will pretty much take care of itself. No attention needed.

Demon - Kill 30 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2400cR
Elites are really the hardest enemies to kill in Reach but, luckily, there are several ways to make the job easier to the point that, we just need to worry about getting enough Elites. For this challenge, you will want to stick to the Score Attack playlist and, specifically, the gametype 2X Score Attack. In this gametype, the final round will always have about twenty or so Elites for you to kill. This means you will need to do two games of 2X Score Attack to take care of all these kills but the games are normally pretty fast and easy to do thanks to the double damage. Two games and then on to the next challenge.

Cannon Fodder - Kill 75 infantry-class foes in the Campaign today. - 2100cR
With these challenges, that stipulate just killing infantry-class foes, they typically mean Grunts, even though there are other sorts of infantry. These classifications work properly in custom challenges, but I have never seen them do so in the Daily Challenges. Anyway, Winter Contingency is a good place to start for this challenge as there are a ton of Grunts. Remember to set the difficulty to Heroic and try to put at least one shot into every Grunt you see. This way, all the kills will be yours, even if AI teammates score the final shots. Might need to play into ONI: Swordbase to complete this challenge.

Cook 'em, Clean 'em! - Kill 15 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking while you're jet-packing. - 1800cR
I will be honest about this right out, I hate Jet-packing. I think it is one of the most useless armor abilities and does nothing more than to make the player a more appealing and easy to find target for everyone else. That being said, the challenge stipulates we use it, so we shall. You can stick to Teams Slayer or Multi Team for this challenge, but the choice is yours. The trick to getting kills while jet-packing is that you need to be using the armor ability when the kill is made. Being in the air or falling to the ground when the kill is made does not count. I would expect this challenge to take at least two or three games, perhaps even four.
