It depends on what food you are feeding, since the amount of calories per cup can vary tremendously from one brand or formula to another. If Zoey is a bit overweight, I would recommend feeding a weight control formula made by a good quality brand like Royal Canin or Purina ProPlan. These foods are designed to help with weight loss, and will have instructions on the bag for how much to feed each day based on your dog's target weight.
