Hawkeye is intact and 48 pounds and he eats about 3.5 cups a day and his food is 500kcal/cup. (Native level 3)

Macky is spayed, 8 yr old, and 37 lbs. Eats 8 oz raw per day, would probably eat like.. 1/2 - 3/4 C cups of kibble per day.
Keeva is intact, 2 years old, weighs 23-25 lbs (been a while since she was weighed) and eats 10-12 oz raw per day. Would probably eat 1-1.25 cups of kibble per day.
Blossom is intact for the purposes of this discussion, 50 lbs, 15 months old, and eats 1.5 lbs of raw per day, would eat 4 cups of kibble. She also gets one raw pig's ear (mostly fat, lol) like every-other day, which really helps boost her weight.
Ollie is intact, 14 months old, eats... LOL well, he gets 2 cups of kibble, 4 oz raw, and 1/4 can of wet food per day. So I'd say we can call that 3 cups per day.
Macky is moderately active, though much more so now that I've moved back in with her and folks. Everybody else is very active even on a "boring" day as they will play for hours in the large backyard with each other. Sometimes it's ridiculous how the young, intact (or "intact") dogs burn through food. Now that Ollie/Keeva/Blossom all live together the constant activity in the yard is really affecting the food bill. :lol-sign: Macky's food is premade raw and has moderate fat levels, Ollie's kibble is grain free and relatively high fat/protein, and my girls eat mostly fatty meats like skin on chicken, fatty beef, etc. The lean out quickly on lower fat content foods.

Bailey gets 1.5-2 cups of kibble per day, regardless of what she's eating. She's always somewhere between 41-44#.
Buzz is currently getting 18-20oz of raw per day. He used to only need 16oz to maintain but in order to keep him where he's at now (right around 51#), he's been needing more.
Gaby (60something pounds) is eating about 1.5 cups of kibble per day. Roughly 550 calories is what I shoot for.

Dance is 30lbs and eats about 9oz of raw per day. If she eats kibble, she gets just slightly under a cup per day. She has a very slow metabolism and puts on weight super easily.
Journey is 40lbs and eats 16oz of raw per day. If she eats kibble, I tend to give her about 2 cups that day, but she rarely eats kibble.

Jackson is not 20lbs, but he's about 18lbs so I'll reply anyway. 
He used to maintain at 16lbs, but I'm thinking he still had some filling out to do after 3, because he's not gotten any fatter, but the last 3x we've went to the vet he hit about 18.5lbs. I was just thinking scale was off, but yeah, I guess he's my almost 20lb yorkie I find I still say '16lbs' a lot though because I got so used to it.
Anywho, on most days, he eats 1/2 cup per day of kibble (Acana, Go! at the moment) but he also gets some canned food (Weruva) and treats (chewy Buddy Biscuits, and Zuke's) plus the occasional bully stick, or chew.
I do up it to 2/3 cup of kibble per day if he's spent a lot of time swimming and seems extra hungry.

Pompadour is just 7 pounds, so I'm just watching this thread, lol
In the pics he looks smaller in size, but no matter the size he is adorable , how mush is he at the shoulders?
