i learnt this when i did City and Guilds in Small animal clinical nutrition, not sued it for a while but pretty sure this is right!

first you need to work out the Dry matter as no calories in water.

then you need to work out the amount of carbohydrates - not normally listed so add up all ingredients and take away from 100 = carbohydrates

then you multiply Protein x 3.5, fat by 8.7 and carbs x 3.5 add them all together and that is your kcal per 100g

Give them a ring and they will tell you. Think there is a slight difference between varieties.
