Remy eats a combo of Before Grain - Buffalo (only kibble he likes) and home cooked each day. He gets approx 1/8 cup of kibble in the AM and gets the total of 3/4 cup (sometimes less depending on his activity) of home cooked food spread over a "Lunch" and "dinner" meal. He usually only eats until full and I do not leave food out for him.
One thing I have found that is easy is a "meatloaf" preparation. His meal this week is 97% lean ground turkey mixed with 2 eggs, 1 cup of dry oats, carrots, green beans and potatoes (the latter three are pre-cooked then chopped small and mixed into the meatloaf mixture). Form it into a loaf, toss it in the oven for about 40 minutes - don't dry it out. When its done I slice into meal-sized servings and freeze in individual snack size bags. When its time to eat, its out of the freezer, warmed a bit, mashed with a fork to break it up and on the plate.
I vary things each week, his other protein options include salmon (broiled) and red snapper. I also will use ground veal, beef and pork in a meatloaf-like preparation described above. I vary because he gets bored. He also likes chicken, and beef (not ground) but I try to minimize his beef. His veggie options: brussels sprouts (steamed and chopped), cauliflower (steamed and mashed), broccoli, asparagus (tips only), carrots, green beans. Occassionally he gets fresh lettuce from the garden - spinach, green leafy lettuce.
He gets a 1/2 Pet Tab and 3 tablespoons of greek yogurt mixed with a glucosamine supplement every day
