No, it's closer to 1000, or 2 cups of Evo RM and even then he's starting to put on a bit of weight...

The Evo dry is 537cal/cup
The Evo RM dry is 487 cal/cup
The canned rabbit is 489cal/can
The canned beef is 479 cal/can
The canned venison is 568 cal/can..
You get the idea- they're pretty close to 500cal/can and close to the cal for a cup of RM, IMO... At at $2.29-$3.79/can, it's not as bad as it could be (and if I get it cheaper by the case, even better..)... Especially since my doggies have a pretty slow metabolism for their size.

Barkley, they tend to compensate for the temperature destroying some of the vitamin content by adding more prior to cooking.
