The amount depends on which brand of food you feed, your pup's weight and activity level.
Feed a little less than the guidelines on the food bag suggest. I think many manufacturers overestimate the amount.
Many people will recommend free feeding a puppy because the conventional wisdom is that a pup won't overeat. This was not true of my Max. I gave him 3 scheduled meals and 2 small snacks a day.
Puppies generally need more than adult dogs because they burn a lot of fuel growing and engaging in puppy antics.
