Diet how they chow, converted to grams per day
Searching USDA FoodData Central needs an API key. Without one the app uses USDA’s public demo key, which allows about 10 requests an hour for everyone on your network. Built-in ingredients never need a key.
Type in the first row to search built-in ingredients and USDA FoodData Central, or to add a food of your own; edit a food’s name to rename it or replace it with a search result. The amount field takes simple math. Pick a unit and how often it is fed; everything is converted to grams per day. Values per 100 g come from USDA FoodData Central, manufacturers, or estimates (marked ~). Changes are saved in this browser, and the address bar always links to the current diet.

Analysis per the AAFCO adult-maintenance profile
| Check | Range | Status |
|---|
Most nutrients have no AAFCO maximum: a “–” in the maximum’s place marks an open-ended range, and being well above a minimum is normal for complete foods. Where another published upper figure exists (EU legal limits, NRC, FEDIAF) it appears as an underlined number; hover it for the reasoning and source, and a diet above it reads “above advisory level”. When the calories are short, most nutrients will be too: feed more before adding supplements. This is a planning tool, not a veterinary formulation.
