Baby's earliest solid foods should be
animal foods as his digestive system, although immature, is better equipped to supply enzymes for digestion of
fats and
proteins rather
than carbohydrates.
While some are more wholesome
than others, they are all free of the harmful
animal fats and
animal protein (casein / whey) found in dairy cheeses.
Compared with participants who consumed no more
than 10 % of energy from
animal protein, those consuming more
than 18 % were slightly heavier and less physically active and consumed more
fats (especially saturated
fat) and less fiber and plant foods.
For those who are obese and want to be anything close to lean and stay that way, they're likely to be better off getting rid of all the grains and much or most of the fruit, and then eating more of whatever foods they happen to eat or like that provide
protein and
fat — pulses, for instance, and tofu (a more complicated issue
than I have time for here) for the vegetarians and vegans and
animal products (meat, fish, fowl and eggs) for the rest.
The resulting cheese depends on a number of factors including the balance of
fat,
protein and milk sugars in the milk which varies by
animal (e.g. sheep milk is about 9 %
fat and 5 %
protein, whereas cow's milk has about 4 %
fat and 3 %
protein), the bacteria used, how the curds are processed, how long the cheese is kept before eating and how much water is left in the cheese (soft cheese contains over 45 % water, hard / semi-hard cheeses contain 30 - 45 % water, and dry hard cheeses such as Parmesan have less
than 30 % moisture content).
Like
proteins, plant - based
fats are less biologically valuable for dogs
than animal - based
fats so it would be good to see a secondary source of
fat like chicken
fat or salmon oil included in this recipe.
How to grade your dog's food: Start with a grade of 100: 1) For every listing of «by - product», subtract 10 points 2) For every non-specific

fat canine diets recommend skinless,
fat - trimmed chicken and low or no
fat cottage cheese as
protein sources in homemade diets because they're lower in
fat and higher in
protein than most other
animal - based sources.
Nursing mother dogs require food that has more
animal proteins,
fats and calories
than their regular diet to produce milk to feed their pups.
For example, real chicken meat is a higher quality
protein source
than chicken or poultry by - product meals; chicken
fat is considered a higher quality source of essential fatty acids
than generic «
animal fats.»
This has resulted in commercial diets much higher in carbohydrates and lower in
protein and
fat than the meat based diets of ancestral
animals.
The ferret food you choose should match Mother Nature's nutrient profile for small creatures and should be at least 50 %
protein (from
animal sources not plant
proteins), a balanced
fat level of 20 % - 24 %, and should contain no more
than 7 % digestible carbs.

We use only the first cut of hay which provides ideal
protein, fiber and
fat ratios for daily nutrition, and it is slightly harder
than other cuts to wear down and clean small

THE SCORING METHOD FOR DOG FOOD: How to grade your dogâ $ ™ s food: Start with a grade of 100: 1) For every listing of â $ œby - productâ $, subtract 10 points 2) For every non-specific
animal source (â $ meatâ $ or â $ œpoultryâ $, meat, meal or
fat) reference, subtract 10 points 3) If the food contains BHA, BHT, or ethoxyquin, subtract 10 points 4) For every grain â $ œmill runâ $ or non-specific grain source, subtract 5 points 5) If the same grain ingredient is used 2 or more times in the first five ingredients (I.e. â $ œground brown riceâ $, â $ œbrewers riceâ $, â $ œrice flourâ $ are all the same grain), subtract 5 points 6) If the
protein sources are not meat meal and there are less
than 2 meats in the top 3 ingredients, subtract 3 points 7) If it contains any artificial colorants, subtract 3 points 8) If it contains ground corn or whole grain corn, subtract 3points 9) If corn is listed in the top 5 ingredients, subtract 2 more points 10) If the food contains any
animal fat other
than fish oil, subtract 2 points 11) If lamb is the only
animal protein source (unless your dog is allergic to other
protein sources), subtract 2 points 12) If it contains soy or soybeans, subtract 2 points 13) If it contains wheat (unless you know that your dog is not allergic to wheat), subtract 2 points 14) If it contains beef (unless you know that your dog is not allergic to beef), subtract 1 point 15) If it contains salt, subtract 1 point
For best results, the diet should contain less
than 1 % starch / carbs and should be made with
animal protein and
fat.
The average nutrient profile of what a cat would consume in the wild is 50 - 54 %
animal protein, 22 - 26 %
animal fat and less
than 5 % carbohydrates.
As with
protein,
animal sources of
fat are usually better for your dog
than plant sources, and for the same reason.
Your dog needs no more
than 5 % crude fiber in his diet and the carbohydrate content should be limited as well, giving preference to
animal - based
proteins and
fats.
In general, the diet is formulated with cottage cheese and or tofu (as a source of
protein), a source of starch such as boiled rice, a source of
fat (
animal fat is acceptable and is more palatable
than vegetable
fat), and a vitamin - mineral mixture to balance the diet.
