Great Danes eat a lot of food. Males will usually eat between seven and ten cups of food per day. Females will eat a bit less, usually six to eight cups.
I have two great danes, brother and sister, they are about 6 months old and we go through about a 45 lb. bag of dog food a week. They are growing fast and our vet said they are an ideal weight for their stature. As puppies they will eat roughly 6-8 cups of food per day, that will lever down as they grow into adulthood. As adults, they don't eat more than any other large breed dog, maybe 2-4 cups per day depending on activity level. I free-feed my Dane, and have since she was a pup at the breeder's suggestion, and she has maintained a perfect physique, if anything a tad underweight.

Danes eat a lot. They eat nearly 1.5 times as much as other dog breeds. There are measuring cups that can be obtained from any pet specialty store that sells dog food. Check out the quantity for adult dogs and try to feed him that much. If he looks like he will eat more, then add more and see how much he eats. In a few days you will get a rough idea of how much he will eat and you can adjust the quantity accordingly.

Danes are large dogs and eat a lot. They eat nearly 1.5 times what a full grown labrador retriever or a German shepherd would eat.
