The general guideline is 2% to 3% of your dog's ideal adult weight. This is only a starting point. Each dog is different. Watch your dog's waist and ribs. If your dog gets too chuby, cut back on what you're feeding. If your dog gets too thin, increase what you're feeding.

The above quote taken from
RAW Feeding FAQs, and is the generally accepted guideline. Please take a moment to read the rest of this page.
With my own dogs, I offer two meals a day, and let them eat to fill. I keep threatening to cut back to feeding once daily, as most of the time food is left over. Clearly, these dogs are not hungry! You may find that once your pups start eating real food, they may not need as much to satisfy growing requirements. But at first, they may eat like they've been stranded on a deserted island for a month. That's OK - their little bodies are starving for digestible nutrition. They'll settle in to a reasonable routine.
