Morning Tonya,
What Sienne wrote is true - the gravy contains the carbs. When I need to bump Mannie up often I will just give him the gravy, as he prefers it, and he really doesn't need all that extra food - being a little on the chunky side. What's left over I give t the civvies.
I too use the FF Gravy Lovers - all varieties, most run in the 14-15% range for carbs. When I need a little bit more of a boost I will feed him FF Beef (or Chicken) Feast in Gravy - which runs about 18%. there is more food in it than with the Gravy Lovers though. There are a couple of Friskies foods out there that are in the 22% range, contains a lots of gravy, but for the life of me I can't remember which ones. For Mannie, the 18% was high enough. You can always add the gravy to your LC food too if you want. As things begin to level out for Tiki you may find that it well take less carbs to bring numbers up. Mannie is at a point now where, for the most part, I rarely need to go over a 10% food to bring a number up. As an FYI - it did take us a while to get there. For us, I never use karo unless the numbers are extremely low, like the 30's and I need an immediate boost. I've found, for Mannie, that just an appropriate food will do the trick - ECID, and you may find that, as with Sienne's Gabby, that you will need a karo, or honey.
Good luck!
And VERY COOL on your first green, and with shooting it! Those get easier as time goes on. The first one is always akin to OMG!
Have a great day today!
