Hi Paula I did a search and saw that you have used this, can't find any FF Classic Beef Pate any where, is this low carb, I posted what I found on the Chewy site about carbs. I do have a lot of other FF pates that Tyler likes , I was just wondering about
the Purina One Beef
Thanks Paula

Hey Diane - I use Marje's post to calculate - https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/calculating-calories-from-carbohydrates.204051/

I'll do it for you and will post what I get.

Hey Diane - I use Marje's post to calculate - https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/calculating-calories-from-carbohydrates.204051/

I'll do it for you and will post what I get.

Using Marje's post for As Fed (since moisture is included in the GA so I think this is right), I get 11.43%. I'll show my work below

Step 1:
Moisture = 78
Protein = 11
Fat = 5
Ash = 3.4
Fiber = 1.5
TOTAL = 98.9

Step 2:
100 - 98.9 = 1.1

Step 3:
Protein: 11 x 3.5 = 38.5 calories
Fat: 5 x 8.5 = 42.5 calories
Carbs: 1.1 x 3.5 = 10.45 calories

Step 4:
Protein: 38.5/98.9 = 42.1%
Fat: 42.5/98.9 = 46.47%
Carbs: 10.45/98.9 = 11.43%

I have no problem with your calculations but based on the ingredients that is way too high since there are no "carb" ingredients listed. That is one of the problems on has when doing calculations based on the guaranteed analysis. I think it is closer to the 3+% listed on the Chewy site

Perhaps - Marje's post also includes an article on why GAs aren't awesome so totally hear you there. Wish companies would be more forthcoming about their data but most will just do the minimum.

Hi
I've put the link to a cat food calculator that someone on here kindly gave me when I joined.
Putting in the %s you gave at step 1 above it gives an answer of 4.54% carbs though please run it through yourself too in case I messed the inputs up !! Hope it helps

Sorry I can't get connection at work. I use it, I believe it's below 6%. If it's not on the food tab of ss, I will have to look to see if I have the info.

Purina is having trouble sourcing ingredients, so all their lines are being affected. I do like Purina One over FF though. So far I'm not noticing any disable change to it like I noticed with FF. Also just started introducing Tiny Tiger from chewy. I think others say it's safe but I don't know. I do try to keep my crew on lc still.

I use the calculator on fnae.org site. It always came very close to what companies said if they responded.

Thank you everyone, I was just curious to see what it was since I can't find the FF Classic Pate Beef anywhere. I have enough of the other FF Pate flavors that Tyler likes, but I saw the Purina One Beef in Stop and Shop grocery store and since they had a lot of the beef flavor I was wondering whether to get it or not

I think I'll play it safe and not buy it.
Yes I read here that Purina is having trouble sourcing ingredients, well they
better hurry up
Remember that commercial a long time ago with the old lady that said "Where's The Beef" lol I think it was for a fast food joint.

That's me every time Into to my grocery store Where's the Beef
