Convert a dog's daily calories into grams of dry food per day and per meal.
A dog's daily calorie target divided by the energy density of its food gives how many grams to feed. Splitting that across meals fixes the portion for each serving. Different foods have wildly different calorie densities, so a portion is only correct when tied to the actual kilocalories per gram of the specific product.
