There are general recommendations printed on the back of the bag or can of cat food; from this you can adjust up or down based upon your cat's physical shape. A younger and more active cat will need more food to maintain a healthy weight than an older and less active cat.
The way to tell if your cat is a healthy weight takes two simple steps: look at your cat from above and see if there is a "waist" or a slimmer spot in the abdomen just after the end of the rib cage - this is normal and indicates a healthy weight for your cat. Second, gently run your fingers over your cat's rib cage - you should be able to feel the last couple of ribs but not all of them.
If you aren't sure what is a healthy weight, or if your cat has chronic disease or other health challenges, I recommend asking your vet at your next visit to help you determine how much of what food to feed your cat.

How much food should you feed a Maine coon cat?
I have a main coon and I keep her dish full all day. They like fresh food best so give them a little bit at a time and check the dish occasionally. The only way to really tell how much food to feed is to measure out the food, and weigh your cat once a week. Using digital scales will do. If the cat's weight starts to increase or decrease, alter the amount of food you are giving accordingly. The easiest way to do this is to give the cat set meals as opposed to leaving a bowl out all day.
