I've never fed the canned Nutro to my cats before so I don't even know what the ingredients are. A long time ago I used to feed them the Nutro Complete Care dry food. I'm sure it's got to be better than Friskies or Fancy Feast which most people consider to be junk food for cats. The better quality foods always have real meat as the first ingredient and no corn. I think there are some websites where you can put in your food info and compare it to other brands. At least Mac seems to love it while Ming doesn't so that's a good start.
