It depends entirely on what the caloric content and nutrient content of your food is, and that can vary so widely I can't give you an amount to feed. However, I would recommend that you visit this website for excellent guidance in formulating a homemade diet for you dog, including how much you should feed.

Each fruit and vegetable has a specific nutritional profile. It is very important to formulate the diet as accurately as possible to avoid complications of poor nutrition. I highly recommend using the website Balanceit.com to help formulate his meals and make sure they are nutritionally adequate.
