BLUE True Solutions - Weight Control Chicken, Barley & Brown Rice Recipe
Summary
Blue Buffalo BLUE True Solutions Weight Control Chicken, Barley & Brown Rice Recipe is a dry cat food crafted to support healthy weight management in adult cats through controlled calories, targeted nutrients, and fiber-driven satiety.
The first ingredient is deboned chicken, supplying highly digestible animal protein that helps preserve lean muscle during weight loss efforts.
Chicken meal adds concentrated animal protein, while menhaden fish meal and dried egg product contribute complementary amino acids and natural omega-3s to round out the amino acid profile.
At 36% protein and 12% fat with a caloric density of 3332 kcal/kg, the formula delivers a moderated energy profile aimed at helping cats maintain or achieve an ideal body condition.
A high total fiber level (12%) from ingredients like powdered cellulose, beet pulp, pea fiber, and tomato pomace promotes fullness between meals and supports regular bowel function.
Included L-carnitine (400 mg/kg) supports fat metabolism, helping the body utilize fat for energy as part of a weight-control plan.
Omega-3 (0.5%) and omega-6 (2.25%) fatty acids from menhaden fish meal, flaxseed, chicken fat, and canola oil help maintain healthy skin and a glossy coat.
Taurine at a minimum of 0.2% supports normal heart function and vision—critically important for all adult cats.
BLUE’s LifeSource Bits—antioxidant-rich, cold-formed kibbles—provide vitamin E (300 IU/kg), vitamin C (100 mg/kg), and other micronutrients to help support immune function while preserving heat-sensitive compounds.
The recipe avoids chicken or poultry by-product meals, as well as corn, wheat, and soy, and contains no artificial flavors or preservatives, aligning with a cleaner-label approach many owners prefer.

How the score is calculated?
The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.
To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:
(1) Amount of protein (more is better)
(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)
(3) Quality and source of ingredients.
Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.
One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.
In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.
Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.
Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.
Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.
Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.
Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.
The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
