Lol. Yea… that’s how he rolls. Thankfully it’s the weekend this time! Though I do need to get out to do some shopping!

95 @ +5, he’s had a snack. Test in another hour, I’m thinking

I also have FF chicken feast Chunky and beef feast in gravy ( don’t know the carb count)

Dr. Lisa's list says:
FANCY FEAST - Roasted/Flaked/Chunky - Chunky Chicken Feast - is 4% carbs. Is that what you have?

FANCY FEAST - Gravy Lovers - Gourmet Beef Feast in Gravy is 20%
FANCY FEAST - Marinated Morsels in Gravy - Beef Feast in Gravy is 12%
 
Maybe another diner option for the chicken feast chunky… Thats good.. it has wheat gluten and soy flour and soy protein - so I thought maybe md carb

And I’m not too sure about the beef.. the wording is a little different - doesn’t say ‘gourmet’ and says ‘chunks’ instead says ‘beef flavour feast in gravy - chunks’ but has corn starch, soy flour and soy protein

Canada’s wording is a bit different .. like the Pates don’t have ‘classic’ in their name

Oh yeah, Canada....

Put the nutritional values on the can into this carb calculator and see what you get?

In the hourly cell or in the notes?

Either is fine. Some people put it in the comments. Others in the cell itself. Whatever you prefer. Since you are using the world SS, comments may be easier.
 
Another one I’m not sure of is Friskies Extra gravy Chunky with Turkey. On FB they say extra gravy is not real gravy… but maybe the chunky version is different … also has corn starch, wheat gluten and soy flour

Yup, some of the extra gravy variants and the gravy centre ones are not gravy just extra jus and low carb. But you want to check the values in the carb calculator to be sure when they say gravy and have flour.

see… that calculator makes me scratch my head. I typed in the one in question and it’s 18%

But then I did the FF Turkey and giblets that on Dr. Lisa’s chart it is 3% and with the calculator it’s 7%

guessing I should be looking at the dry matter carbs?

Yup.

What you have on the can labels is "guaranteed analysis" - just an approximation. Dr. Lisa's charts have used actual values collected from the manufacturers. Hence the variance. But you should get an approximate idea about whether the food is low, medium or high carb with the GA values.

Thanks. I’ll take a closer look at what I have for the ones that aren’t on the list

Feed some LC, take a nap and get a +9 - can you nap between tests?
Click to expand...

I don’t nap well, to be honest.. it’s all or nothing for me ;) I’ll be up at that time, will test him at +9

Thanks Bhooma! You have no idea how much it means to me to have you here with me (and the furminator!) I wish there was more I could do than to say thanks a millions times!:bighug:

Then let's see the +8 and maybe you can call it a night then.
