Honestly, one cup of Instinct a day sounds like too much for Callie. It's a food with almost 500 kcals/cup which is quite a bit, so less needs to be fed. Especially since she's not active right now. I think she would plump up a lot on that food being fed one cup per day along with treats such as bully sticks, etc. Bestbullysticks contain 12 calories per inch just as an FYI, then add along any other treats she may get for the day.
Jackson is a very active 16lbs and eats 3/4 cup of a 391 kcal/cup food. I wouldn't want him any chunkier than his frame he's at it now (pictured posted). With that said, he's got the proper metabolism and body condition that if he wants more food... I'll give it to him, since he doesn't need to lose any weight.
