It's very hard to get a home cooked diet balanced nutritionally, but good news there are two websites that are run by veterinary nutritionists that have recipes for home cooked diets. They are balanced, and tell you how much to feed. I will link them below for you. I hope this helps! https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com
