Does anyone know if there's a current calorie food brand chart?  The most recent that I've been able to find so far is a 2012 one but it's very outdated with a lot of the formulas.  I can't find most of what I use on there.   It's frustrating to not know how many calories I'm feeding my kitten a day.   More specifically, I need one for Nutro Natural Choice, Whole Earth farms, Merrick LID, and Evo (although Evo might have had the exact formulas currently out there on the old chart)

The best way to make sure you get the most up to date information is to go to the manufacturer web site.

The Catinfo.org chart is a few years out of date
I found an even older chart from 2010: http://www.petobesityprevention.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Cat_Canned_Pouch_Foods.pdf

The pet food label should have the calorie content listed, usually as kcal. The pet food company's web site should also have the same label information for each product.

How old is your kitten? Kittens don't need to worry about calorie content. You just want to feed them as much as they want to eat because they  need all that food to grow. Any extra calories will be burned off through play and we all know kittens have tons of energy

I actually wanted the calorie content from each food to make sure she's getting enough calories each day, since she seems to have a small appetite for a 5 month old kitten.  She won't eat more than one 3 oz can a day (I have to coax her to even finish the 1) and she eats about 1/4th cup of dry a day (also sometimes wont finish).  The only way she has any interest in eating more than that is if I hand feed her the dry or spoon feed her the wet (bad habit that I don't want her to get used to!)
