Sadly not possible. 200g protein = 800 cals

Do dog calories work the same as human calories

That’s impossible as protein is 4 calories per gram

1g protein=4 cals no matter how you slice it. it’s why people can calculate calories in a jar of dirt despite no nutritional value

I guess I meant is 1g of protein worth a different calorie ratio when going through a dog's digestive system

yeah that’s what i mean, calories will not change based on the animal consuming them. their digestive system might be faster than ours but calories are not human specific
