I would feed Muggs according to the package instruction on his food, and divide the daily amount into two equal portions. Make sure he gets at least 30-45 minutes of exercise twice a day, and do not give him any human food or treats at all. Sticking to his diet and making sure he has plenty of exercise will help control his weight :-)
