    8. DO NOT LEAVE THE DISH OUT ALL DAY 

    Your dogs should be put on a strict feeding schedule. You should never leave kibble out all day for your dog to choose when he or she eats. This "free" eating encourages dogs to eat when they're bored or not hungry. (Vetstreet)

In number 4 they say to look at the bag of food for the amount to feed. I looked at my dogs food and his weight and they suggested 7-8 cups a day. I give my dog 3 and he still has a little bit of a weight problem so I don't think that is the best measure. The food companies want to sell Food so they hope you use too much so you can buy more.
