For most dogs it is best to break up the feedings into two meals. I am talking about healthy adult dogs.

Please I agree with others no force feedings!

If you want to use Royal Canine and it works for your dog, fine use it. My 6.5 lb dog gets 1/4 lb or 4 ounces of home cooked in one day split into two meals. He also gets 4 pieces of tartar defense.

He is at an ideal weight for his height and frame.

If we exercise a lot, and in summertime that often happens in the mornings, he gets treats, then a another lunch time meal of 2 ounces or so.

I do not believe in leaving kibble or any food down for grazing all day, unless there is some over-arching medical condition.

I put down the food in the morning, if not eaten after 10 - 15 minutes or so up it comes; otherwise the other piggies in my household will eat it. Plus I know how much each dog eats every day.
