Hi Marilyn,

Binky's list calculates carb percentages by % of calories, so you need more than just the carb as-fed numbers to calculate the carb percentage. Here's an explanation of how the numbers are calculated from the as-fed values: http://binkyspage.tripod.com/foodfaq.html.

I would stick with the two updated food charts for Wellness values, as they are still very accurate. The new varieties are not on the charts, so you would need to get complete as-fed information for those ones (Protein, Fat, Carb, Phosphorus, Fiber, Moisture and calories per can), if you want to calculate carbs to feed.
