No guesswork and no brand chart. This is the same calculation a vet does on paper, so you can check it.
What this means for the bowl
Purina Pro Plan Complete Essentials Adult Turkey & Vegetables Entrée Slices In Gravy is on the lighter side: at 858 kcal per kg it has less energy than 94% of the 18 wet dog foods in our list, so the bowl will look fuller for the same calories.
To show how much the food matters: a 40 lb spayed or neutered dog needs about 985 kcal a day. That is 3 × 13 oz can of this food, but 9 ¼ × 3 oz can of Purina Beneful IncrediBites Small Breed Loaf with Real Chicken and 4 ½ × 9.5 oz carton of Purina Beneful Freshly Prepared Stews Chicken Dinner with Carrots and Rice in Gravy. Same dog, same day, very different bowls.
Wet food is mostly water. Gram for gram, the average dry dog food in our list has about 4.3 times the calories of this one, which is why the wet portion looks so much bigger.
