You have to go by how he LOOKS, not how he ACTS, to judge if he is getting enough to eat or not.

My 11 week old female would eat the world if I let her. I am feeding her 2.5-3 cups a day.

My 14lb dog once ate through a plastic food container and consumed SEVERAL POUNDS of kibble.
........Never go by how they act.  Some dogs will just eat anything and everything regardless if they are actually hungry or not.What you're feeding sounds like plenty for the average pup. But just go by how he looks, if he's overly ribby then feed some more. If you can feel but not see the ribs when he's standing then keep feeding what you're feeding. If you get to where you can't see or feel the ribs, he looses his belly tuck and doesn't have an hour glass figure from above...it's time to back off the food. :P |

What are you feeding him? You could be feeding him sufficient quantity, but not enough calories. Could you post a photo or two of him?
