There is no correct answer for this, as how much a kitten eats can depend on several factors: The kitten's age, size, activity level, appetite and the quality of food being fed. A cat's food is also a huge factor in how much it eats: A cat will eat far more if fed a lower quality food to get the nutrition it needs, and will eat much less if fed a premium quality food that has a high meat content and no grains. Kittens on growth spurts also tend to eat much more also.
Kittens can eat as little as 100g or 200g of canned/pouched food and as much as 400g or 500g in a day. Kittens often need much more food than an adult cat as they are still growing and developing. It is advised to feed as much as it wants until it reaches a year old. Be sure to feed small but frequent meals, especially for younger kittens as they have small stomachs.

The rule of thumb with kittens is to feed as much as they'll eat. Keep dry food out all the time and give canned food as well. Canned food is higher in calories which is better for kittens. If your kitten is thin you can mix KMR (a kitten formula)with their food or Hill prescription diet A/D food (buy it at your vet) do not leave the food out all day since bacteria will be formed on it and your kitten will suffer from diarrhea because of the bacteria, mine had that due to bacteria and diet change , and never give her canned food with preservation designed for human beings and of course a very low fat diet or no fats at all in food would be better , a kitten should be fed 3-4 times daily . good luck
What should you feed your cat as she is nursing kittens?
For kittens, any high quality cat food is the best. Kittens eat exactly the same food as an adult cat - the only difference is quantity. Brands will advertise kitten food as a clever marketing ploy, although in reality, the difference between the kitten and adult foods are often minimal. For many high quality brands, kitten and adult food are exactly the same, so are complete for all ages. Just be sure to feed a kitten small but frequent meals. 3 to 6 meals per day for a kitten is ideal, although this factor will greatly depend on age and size. Never give a kitten cow's milk as many cats are lactose intolerant and can make them sick. Cats are carnivores so they derive all the nutrients from meat, so it makes sense to find a food with a high (50% or over) meat content. This should be the FIRST ingredient (listed as Chicken, Turkey, Lamb, Tuna, etc.). Foods that are free of grains, corns, and wheat gluten are highly recommended as these are cheap "filler" that bulk up foods - but have no nutritional value for your kitten. Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food. For high-quality cat and kitten food there is: Wellness, Blue Buffalo, Eagle Pack, Felidae, Orijen, Grau, Animonda Carny, Bozita (from zooplus.co.uk), HiLife (60% meat), to name a few.

What do you do if your kitten asks for food when she's not supposed to have it?
If the kitten is otherwise healthy, it may be a good idea to just give your kitten more food - either by adding an extra meal to the daily feeding schedule or to slightly increase the amount of food being fed per day. Changing the food to a higher quality one with a high amount of meat is also another option, as the kitten will be able to get all the needed nutrients without eating as much as it would on a lower quality food. Kittens need a lot of animal proteins and fats in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. Generally speaking, kittens need much more protein and other nutrients compared to an adult cat, so don't be surprised if you are feeding your kitten much more than you would an adult cat. If your kitten is asking for more food, chances are he or she actually is hungry, and not asking to eat out of boredom or greed. If your kitten is begging for human food, by all means deny it. Kittens are highly curious and seeing their human caregivers eating food will naturally perk the kitten's interest.
