Kaya’s Transition Calculator — Friendly Guide
|
||
============================================
|
||
|
||
This quick guide shows you how to use the calculator to move Kaya from kibble to gently cooked food at a steady, safe pace.
|
||
|
||
How to use it
|
||
-------------
|
||
1) Enter Kaya’s age in months (e.g. "5.5")
|
||
|
||
2) Check the energy numbers for your foods:
|
||
- Eukanuba (kibble) defaults to 372 kcal/100g (replace if your bag shows a different number)
|
||
- Fred & Felia (gently cooked) defaults to 115 kcal/100g (replace if your bag shows a different number)
|
||
- Add or rename the foods (e.g., “Treats”) and enter their energy values from the label (kcal/100 g, kcal/kg, kcal/cup, or kcal/can).
|
||
|
||
3) Set your percentages. We will start small (e.g., GC 5%, kibble 95%), lock any values you want fixed.
|
||
|
||
4) Choose how to view amounts:
|
||
- Per day or per meal; set meals/day if needed.
|
||
- Pick your preferred units (grams, kg).
|
||
- Use “days” to see totals for meal prep.
|
||
|
||
Regarding treats
|
||
-----
|
||
- Keep treats ≤10% (your plan is good). Larger shares can dilute the balanced portion of the diet.
|
||
- Enter treat kcal from the package (as‑fed) for accuracy.
|
||
- Monitor body condition and stool; adjust if needed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
What you’ll see
|
||
---------------
|
||
- Exact amounts for each food based on your percentages and energy labels.
|
||
- Totals per day (or per meal), and optional multi‑day batches.
|
||
- Everything updates instantly as you change inputs.
|
||
|
||
Good to know
|
||
------------
|
||
- Gently cooked is less calorie‑dense than kibble. As you add more GC, total grams may go up. This is normal.
|
||
- Treats count. I added a “Treats” source with its kcal so the plan stays balanced.
|
||
- When in doubt, double‑check kcal values on the package (kcal/100 g or kcal/kg are most common).
|
||
|
||
Remember
|
||
-----------------
|
||
Every dog is unique. Monitor body condition, stool quality, and appetite. We will adjust percentages and amounts as Kaya grows and responds to the new plan.
