Carlotta is a 6-year-old spayed female DSH cat with a BCS of 5/9. Her estimated daily energy requirements are 215 kcal/day. What approximate amount of food should she eat to cover her daily energy requirement? (1 can = 85 kcal)
2 1/2 cans
To calculate how much food Carlotta should eat to cover her daily energy requirement, we need to first convert her estimated daily energy requirement from kilocalories (kcal) to cans.
We know that 1 can of food contains 85 kcal, so we can divide Carlotta’s estimated daily energy requirement by 85 to find how many cans she should eat daily:
215 kcal/day ÷ 85 kcal/can = 2.53 cans/day
So Carlotta should eat approximately 2.5 cans of food per day to cover her daily energy requirement.
