I would recommend using a website that does all the calculations and portions sizes you need. Nutrition can be very confusing to do unless you actually consult with a board certified veterinary nutritionist. Here are some websites that should get you started on the right path https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com/Homemade-Diets
