Answer:

The phrase 'a lot' is rather subjective, what seems like a lot to me, may not seem so to you, or vice versa.

I believe that about a cup of food is about the right amount for 1 serving for 1 kitten. (I believe it is normal to feed 1 serving a day.) So you can use this to determine whether you believe this to be a lot or not.

There my be tips on the side of the bag. Adjust portions slightly if their weight seems less than ideal. Ask your vet, they will have the best answer.

Answer:

Generally, kittens will eat more food than adult cats as, Kittens in particular, need a lot of Protein and Fat in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. Kittens need twice as much Protein than an adult cat.

The best cat foods are the ones with a very high meat content (labelled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient with no grains, wheat, or corn. Kittens and cats are strict carnivores. They get all their nutritional needs, mostly from Protein and Fat, from meat.

In addition, a kitten's stomach is very small, so it is advisable to feed them small portions up to three or four times a day so they don't eat too much all at once. Feeding them in this way as opposed to leaving a bowl of dry food out all day lets the owner know exactly how much the cat is eating and thus easier to regulate if the kitten needs to be fed less or more, or if the kitten changes its eating habits.
