One cup a day doesn't sound like much for a puppy. Charlie ate 2 cups a day until a couple months ago when I switched him to a higher calorie all-life-stages food, then I only cut him to 1.5 cups and he's looking a little lanky like he could stand to eat more.

Anyway, I would start with what the Iam's food bag says, and weigh him at least once a week. He should grow approximately one pound a week until 20 weeks. If you can see his ribs, he needs more food. If he starts looking like an overfilled water balloon or gaining much more than a pound a week, cut back a little.
