Food charts

[funkyou]

I've recently been told we're meant to go by ME (metabolised energy) carb percentage, not just carb percentage. I've started going through Fancy Feast flavours on the Aussie food info charts here and pretty much all the numbers shown are just for carb percentage, not ME carbs.

One flavour says it's 4%, so is nice and low carb, but the calculator comes up with more than 22% ME carbs. That's not good, is it? I've spent so much money on food and now I'm just upset that I was misled

Which carb calculator are you using? We want % calories form carbs.

Here are a couple posts with a lot of detail on calculating food values:

• How to Calculate the Nutrient Content of Commercial Cat Foods
  • Calculating % Calories from Carbohydrates written by FDMB member, Marje and Gracie
  • Dr. Lisa's Cat Food Data Base Calculator - Type in the percentages of minimum protein, maximum fat, maximum carbs, and maximum phosphorus you're looking for. You also have the option to choose a specific cat food company. This tool will automatically list the cat foods from the Food Chart created by Lisa Pierson DVM list that meet your specifications.
