10 pound female , spayed ..

17 pound male , neutered ... slightly overweight ..

Activity - Average .

Female - just under 1/4 cup Young Again Zero Carb ( about 120 cal. )  &  one 3 oz can FF Classic ( 100 cal )

Male - 1/4 cup Young Again Zero Carb ( 148 cal. ) & one 3oz can FF Classic ( 100 cal. )

They also get some treats , Pure Bites Freeze Dried Chicken .

Is this enough calories for them or should I feed more ?

They seem satisfied but I  just want to make sure I am feeding them enough .

Is that calories per day or per meal? What do you feed for each meal?

Generally you want to feed about 20 to 25 calories per pound of ideal body weight per day. If your listed calorie numbers are for a day, both cats are eating enough. Some cats may eat a little more or less depending on their activity level, age, etc. As long as your cats are eating well and are in good health, they're getting enough calories
