There was nothing argumentative about YorkieMom's post. She took time out of her day/away from her dogs to try and answer your question.
I agree. There is no way to predict like this.
My girl has been 5.8 pounds before. She ate around 1/2 cup of Science Diet Adult Small Bites and then later she ate homecooked food. Her caloric needs increased and she was a bit underweight. Now she eats approx 1 to 1 and 1/3 cups of a prescription food daily. If I went by the charts she should eat about 180 cal/day. However, she needs at least 300 a day which is not common, but just shows that there is no way to predict.
