Thanks for using PetCoach! I would love to help you with this. He needs to eat 450 to 500 calories per day. Basically you just have to check how many calories the meat you are feeding him has and calculate his daily intake from there. For example 1 cup of cooked white rice has approximately 200 calories while 8 ounces of a chicken breast is about 350 calories. Good luck and have a great day!
