I've had a similar experience with dog food. I switched from Purina to Iams
and noticed that my dog didn't need to eat as much. When I was feeding her
Purina, it seemed to go right through her.

When I switched, I compared the list of ingredients on both bags and found
that Purina has a lot of cereal filler in it, wereas Iams was mostly meat
products.
