Remember to add the bully stick to her calorie intake. Also, every dog is different, so even if one calculator says you should be feeding "x" amount, you may not have to exactly.
Bestbullysticks are approx 12 calories per inch. So a 6" bully is approx 72 calories. I always lower the amount of food when he has one.
I know you worry about her hypo episodes, and I definitely would, too. But I do think as long as she's free feeding, she will just continue to be this way and pick and graze. Which is fine, IMO, if she maintains well on that. But if you are wanting her to eat more, she will learn. Believe me, I thought Jackson would never be a scheduled feeder. It took a few days of him learning and dogs pick it up fast.
