hey everyone just wondering which flavor of fancy feast classics has the least amount of carbs and is best for my kitty? I don't want to consider any sea food flavors cause it's not good to feed a cat that regulary
Anybody know the FF flavor with least carbs?

Any of the "Classics" are fine....they're all under 10% carbs....also, it's important to remember that formulas change (depending on where ingredients are sourced) so even the same brand, same flavor can be a little different from batch to batch
From Dr. Lisa's food chart:
2) Carbohydrates: This is an important area of consideration – especially for diabetic patients. Unfortunately, this macronutrient is not actually measured in a lab. Instead, it is calculated by subtraction. In other words, we add up the moisture + protein + fat + fber + ash and subtract that value from 100% leaving us with the carbohydrate fraction. However, any error in those Big Five values will result in an error (usually an overage) in the carbohydrate value. Stated another way: The carb values noted below are probably higher than they actually are. Even a value of 10% carbs could actually be closer to 0% carbs. Therefore, stick with the directive to stay below 10% carbohydrates but do NOT get caught up in whether a diet says 10%...or 5%....or 0%. Take it one step further and read the label. For example, if you do not see any grains, peas, potatoes, “starch,” or vegetables on the label, even if it is listed as 10% carbs, chances are that it is much lower
