DVP venison and brown rice

Does anyone know the caloric content for the DVP venison and brown rice? I can't find it listed anywhere. I currently feed canidae but am switching because of possible allergy issues. I feed 1 cup of the canidae daily but I don't know how much of the DVP to feed. Their recommended feeding for her weight is 3 cups, which imo is too much. Is there anyone that has fed both before that might be able to give me some kind of guideline? Thanks

When you get that information could you post it here, I would like to do a comparison for other "hypoallergenic" formulas?

For those that are interested this is the email I received from the dvp people:

Hello Heather,
Please know that the Venison and Brown Rice Formula has 404 kcals per 8 oz. cup. Have a great day.

Feeding amounts would be more as there is rice splitting, which make rice the main ingredient which is less digestible than meat, the vension comes in as the second ingredient
