His amount should be indicated right on the bag of dog food. Each brand is a different kcal/cup. But for a dog this size you are looking anywhere from 1.5-2 cups/cans twice daily. I would also recommend haivng Fred's teeth looked at since he is having a hard time eating hard kibble. This could indicate he has dental disease and needs to get a cleaning done. Best of luck moving forward with Fred. Take care.
