What is the quantity of food you feed you cat?

[Saikachu]

I have been having a hard time trying to feed my cat I feed him 200-220 gm of chicken 5 times a day,he is a 7 months old short haired cat,he is not overweight,he is lean,everyone says I should feed my cat 150-160 gm of food per day in 2 meal,but I think it's very less and wouldn't satisfy my cat,what should I do,how does this work for you,how did you feed your cat when it was young?

Five times a day seems like it’s too much. in My experience, chicken alone isn’t nutritious enough…cats need more in their diet.

Here's the part about kittens:

What About Kittens?​

As a rule, healthy growing kittens should be fed as much food as they want. Although cats continue to grow (at a much-reduced rate) after one year of age, cats are considered adults at that one-year mark.​

I agree with Babypaws that feeding your cat just plain chicken won't ensure he gets all the nutrients cats need.
