Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This will change and increase as he continues to grow. What I recommend is that you follow the feeding instructions in the bag of the food you are feeding Simba. The reason is that every diet has a different caloric content. Also, you will see that the amount will increase until he becomes 10-12 months old as his weight will continue to increase with his growth. Have a good day!
