Zen gets fed 3/4 of a cup of his Blue food in the morning. It usually lasts till late afternoon. Then in the evening he also gets a 1/2 can of wet cat food. He is a growing kitten still so we free feed. Once he is neutered next month and a few months older we will switch him to two small feedings. One in the morning and one in the evening and then the canned food in the afternoon. I always found my cats did best on this schedule.
