Default What food, how much and how often...need input please :)

Sheldon is getting chubby. the vet said it is hard to feel his ribs, he is almost 5 months and he weighs 4.6. He is eating 2/3 cup a day of Now small breed grain free.

When I put his food in his bowl he is very excited but then when he smells it he walks away, after a few minutes he goes back and eats some of it and minutes later goes back and finishes it.

So here are my questions:

#1. I want to switch him to a more affordable grain free food so I can buy 2 bags and alternate between day. His food is 23.99 for a 6 lbs bag. Is nature Balance any good? I was also looking at the taste of the wild. Does he still need a puppy formula? Acana and Orijen are as expensive as his Now food.

#2. The vet and every dog owner I know says 2/3 might be too much food. Since he doesn't eat his food all at once should I take it right away right after he is done the 1st time?

#3. How often do you feed an almost 5 month old puppy? Can I feed him twice a day?

Thanks so much if you read this far, I really appreciate and value your suggestions
