How Purina Calculates Cat Calories
Purina’s calorie recommendations use the same veterinary RER (Resting Energy Requirement) formula: 70 x (body weight in kg)^0.75 x life stage factor. Their product labels then divide this by the food’s specific calorie density to arrive at a daily cup or can recommendation. Our Purina calorie calculator for cats replicates this process for the most popular Purina products.
