405 Kcals per cup

Question 2

why is this called Limited-Ingredient cat food when there are a bunch of thins in it, including many chemicals?

Accepted Answer

Literally everything in the world is a "chemical". Most of what you see in the ingredients is vitamins and minerals your cat as an obligate carnivore needs to live a healthy life. This particular food is for cats who have allergies and sensitivities to certain ingredients. This is a true minimal ingredient food.

How many kcals per cup?

402 kcal/cup  (3,592 kcal/kg,)
