Do you mean 1/4 cup 3 times a day or 1/2 cup (which is recommended) divided by three times a day?   
I have also been adding canned food with the kibble at one feeding, but cutting back on 1/4 cup when I add canned.    |  
 
  If the recommended feeding for his weight is 1/2 cup a day, then split that into 3 if you're going to feed him 3 x's a day. 
Maybe switching the treats to a lower calorie treat? Like frozen thawed green beans or snow peas? They're a good source of fiber too.
