Table 1 - the percentages given as fat, CHO and protein do not add up to 100% (67% for chow, 89 and 91% for CD and HFD so this leads me to believe that it is by weight with fibre missing from the calculation? But I cannot compute how a 45% fat by weight diet is only 0.7kcals/g less than the 5% by weight fat diet. Please check.
Spoke with reps from Research Diets, when calculating by percent of calories, maltodextran wasnt included in the starch component. That was added to Table 1
