My friend is asking whats best for her foodwise? Would it be more beneficial giving her wet food only or dried food,which has less calories in basically? At the moment she always has dried down (but a lot of it gets chucked away because she only eats it when wet bowl is empty) and 2 pouches a day usually in gravy. Somebody has told my friend that pouches with Jelly in has more calories than in gravy,personally I think thats noncence but I could be wrong.
We know shes not terribly overweight but want don't want her to pile on more weight because of her leg. She does go out and comes in whenever she wants so shes not a completely indoor cat.
Thanks in advance :)

Biscuits tend to put on more weight than wet food.............dont think it makes a difference between pouches in jelly or gravy....its what they like best.
I would just give her wet food and see how that goes.
Biscuits are also a complete food so really they dont need bothe but mine would moan without both LOL.............but my big cats are large LOL

IF she doesn't eat a lot of dry, then I wouldn't put as much down - it is pointless constantly throwing food away!! Exercise/play is just as important as quantities of food though, so she does need to look at that as well.
