For now, I assumed this lasted 21 days. Based on this, here's the analysis I get:

Mastercook does not export calcium. This showed calcium at 171 mg per day.
Diamond puppy food kibble for example has (based on 6tb per day--what my dog eats)

Side by side Per day (assuming the recipe for "real" lasts 3 weeks. I'll adjust it if you can give me a better estimate on the amount of time it lasts.)

Diamond puppy (per day) "Real" food (per day)
157 calories 278 calories
14.7 g protein 24 g protein
10 g fat 9 g fat
550 mg calcium 171 mg calcium <---this may be a problem
1 g fiber 8g fiber

Just thought it would be interesting to see the side by side comparison
