Amounts correct? Who's good at math?

For some reason, I have confused myself... lol.

I have been feeding Zefra raw since she came here and have been using the amounts below, but someone mentioned that it may not be enough/correct.. Anyone wanna check my math?

For Zefra, I have been calculating her food based on her IDEAL ADULT WEIGHT which will be about 70lbs at the max.

I use the below measurements as a guide.

50% RBM
45% MM
5% OM

For Zefra I am feeding her 1.4lbs of food (2% of her ideal adult weight) broken down like this:

11.2 ounces of RBM
10.6 ounces of MM
0.56 ounces of OM

Can someone verify if this is correct amounts?

How old is she and how active is she?

How does her weight seem right now? Too thin, too fat or just right?

She is 14 weeks old, extremely active and is just right at the moment.

She was half kibble/half raw fed at the breeders up until about 12.5 weeks, then was switched completely to raw when she came home.

1.4lbs = 22.4oz

22.4oz * .50 = 11.2oz
22.4 * .45 = 10.08oz
22.4 * .05 = 1.12oz
