AAFCO: Open Farm Healthy Weight Chicken & Whitefish Recipe Dog Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance. (per manufacturer).
A weight management kibble that reads the way one should: fat held to 8.5 percent, fibre allowed up to 10 percent, and energy down at 340 kcal per cup, roughly a fifth less than Open Farm's standard ancient grains recipes at 420 to 431. Protein stays high at 29.5 percent, which is the point of a well built reduction diet, because the goal is to lose fat rather than muscle. L-carnitine appears third on the ingredient list and is guaranteed at 750 mg/kg, and fructo-oligosaccharides fourth as a prebiotic fibre. Two things to note before switching: the AAFCO statement here is for maintenance only, so this is an adult food and not a puppy or all life stages diet, and the 10 percent maximum fibre is high enough that stool volume will usually increase. Weight loss is a measured feeding exercise rather than a bag choice, so get a target weight and a gram amount from your vet rather than following the cup chart alone.

No. The AAFCO statement covers maintenance only, so the maker formulates it for adult dogs rather than for growth or all life stages.
Why is the fat so low and the fibre so high?
Both are deliberate in a weight management recipe. Fat is guaranteed at a minimum of 8.5 percent and fibre allowed up to a maximum of 10 percent, which lowers calorie density and increases satiety. Expect a larger stool volume than on a standard kibble.
