When Milo had cancer, I opted to cook for him. My goal was to go very low carb based on research that says cancer cells process carbs more easily than fat and protein calories.

I opted to use a variety of proteins and vegetables, in hopes that the variety would help him get a reasonable mix of vitamins and nutrients

I bought a food scale, would cook up a storm, and put it in the food processor.

This spreadsheet is a tool for determining how many calories per cup were in the resulting recipe, and how much to feed the dog.

This tab takes the dog's weight and activity into consideration, past eating and calorie info, to determine how many calories the dog needs.

This tab uses info form all the other tabs to determine how much recipe should be fed to the dog.

This tab also allows for other food info to be entered, for example, if supplementing with kibble or cottage cheese.

Column B is pulldown values. Select the ingredient.

Column C is for the amount of each ingredient.

Column D-F is automated and comes from the Database tabs

Row 17 summarizes calories and nutrients in the recipe

Row 20 requires the amount made (entered by user), and determines how many calories and nutrients per cup.

Row 22 estimates how many days worth of food this provides (uses info from "Milo's Daily" page.

The first column is the source for the pulldown list on the Recipe Values tab.

The second column is the same food, but sometimes in units more common to food info resources, e.g., grams

Columns C, D, E are from food info resources.

Column F is a conversion factor, e.g., grams to pounds

Columns H, I, J is after applying the conversion factor to columns C, D, E. (Just "fill down" to complete.)
