Resting energy at that weight is about 717 kcal per day. The Merck neutered-adult factor of 1.6 puts maintenance near 1147 kcal before activity is added. The dog food calculator on this page uses that same resting-energy formula, then applies the activity and size adjustments from the main dog food calculator.

Reading the portions

Compared with other single-size large breeds, that neutered-adult portion is 175 kcal lower than the 1322 kcal for an average large breed at 59.2 lb.

Portions are a starting estimate. Braque Saint-Germain individuals can vary by body condition, neuter status, and how much they work. Adjust the bowl from what you see on the ribs, not from the table alone.
