My cats are part cat- part bottomless pits. Four of the six eat like they haven't seen food before, and one, Tenny, was truly "starved"...and has a hard time pushing himself away from the bowl, both literally and figuratively!

I do free feed, and kind of 'have to' for Tex. He needs to eat all the time, less he throws up even more. The one thing I have cut out on is the daily bowls of treats for everyone. I now feed Tex a bowl of wet food (treats) and let the others lick the spoon. Lots of whining, but less calories for them!
