Hello pectrolyte and welcome to the forum.
Feeding is not an exact science and it will vary from dog to dog. As an estimate I would feed a puppy only a top rated puppy food and would give them one cup (just a little under 250 mil) three times a day.
Don't worry about bulky muscles, training or any major exercise. Let the pup mature and finish growing and bone forming before you consider bulking it up.
We would enjoy seeing some pictures of your new boy. What is his name?
Hello! there is a ton of information out there, but as Joe said... feeding varies from dog to dog and from food to food, so my recommendation is to follow the feeding guide from the bag or can, whatever food you are using and since he is a puppy (a very cute puppy) you should try to feed him 3 times per day.
Anytime! Funny tid-bit for you, pertaining to what/how much to feed a puppy:
In 2016 my bf brought The (Furry) Love if My Life, Kane, to my home to live.
Kane had 1 previous owner. We had a Veterinary Hospital report, for Kane, provide by his 1st owner. It stated he was 2 yrs old.
It was due to this info, that U made the decision to feed him adult food. The suggestions I had come across stated that you can begin feeding a puppy adult food at 18mos.
Long story short, we didn't find out, until 2017, from our Vet., That Kane was ONLY 18mos at that time.
Making him, only 6 months old, when we first got him.
Now, I was psyched to find out that he was HALF the age we originally thought he was (YAY, more time together!).
However, I felt terrible that I started him on adult food it only 6 months old.
I told Kane, "I'm so sorry I made you grow up too fast buddy. You have permission to revert back into puppy status now."
Funny thing is, he did EXACTLY that!
He began acting like a puppy in almost every way and that continued on until...Well, let's see, he's 3 now, & just as goofy & playful as ever.
Making him: Puppy-4-LIFE![emoji240][emoji252][emoji177]
Wow, that is a gorgeous baby! You got your answer. I am actually shocked that people are still posting on here. Usually it is really old posts.
Let's keep it going!

What needs to be added here is that when changing to any other dog food it needs to be done gradually. Add a little of the new to it's regular food and slowly make the transition.
It's really good to hear from you all. Yes I will get the bully max and thanks Joe for adding that.
As far as I remember on the bullymax food it shows how to switch slowly. But I'll do it nice and slow. Here is an updated pic of Tyson. Almost 4 months and weights almost 6 kg.
We went for our first walk, to my surprise he walks so easily. He walks like a trained dog, right next to me, does not pull, does not go to sniff things, just has a huge smile while walking.
OMG, Keep the Tyson pics/updates coming! I just LUVVV that sweet, lil, puppy face of his. Happy to hear that "things" (Life, in general) w/you & he are still, humming-right-along![emoji240][emoji177]
