I spent a bunch of time figuring this out, but left the data at work.
My cat Jack weighs 19 pounds. I'd like to get him down to 12 pounds, and yes, I know it will take a long time. For years, before I knew any better, I was feeding him 1 can of Science Diet Light and 1/3 cup of Purina One for fat cats a day and he maintained at that. He needs to remain used to a dry food because once a week I put in a 16 hour day at work and don't want to have to worry about him being fed.
Right now we have Evo and Wellness canned as well as Evo dry. He's fully transitioned and is tolerating the food well. One can of Evo is roughly 200 calories. How much dry should I feed so that he has enough but can still lose weight at a slow and healthy rate?
Thanks!
