It's so difficult when you just don't exactly know and have to play the guessing game. I think I am going to go by his body condition and if he still seems hungry, etc... and like you said, weigh him, etc... I also plan on bloodwork next month to make sure everything is still running smoothly. The 3/4 seems to be sufficient right now, but it's so hard to tell. He also will often get a small-sized, or maybe medium, Kong filled with the low fat canned food so 3/4 + that is probably good for him. I will just adjust if needed Thanks!!

I just did this doggie calculator thing and for an active adult 16lb dog, it says Your Dog’s Estimated Energy Requirement is: 553 kCal / day.

CN Venison is 463.0 kcal/cup (which surprises me actually? I think it's the same as Acana... which is a lot higher in fat/protein). Anyone good at math... (LOL??) if he's eating 3/4 cup of kibble per day, how many calories would that be?

They way I figured it out is cut it in half and then divide it in half again. So If Acana's One cup is 463 a 1/2 cup would be 231.50 and 1/4 cup would be 115.75 basically 116. SO 3/4 cup would be 348 Calories
