Chris has good advice. Use the food bag recommendations as a guideline and adjust what your puppy eats from there.

A good rule of thumb is as much as he wants to eat in 20 min. If he eats all you give him in 20 min. next time give a bit more. If he's leaving food you're giving too much.

How old is your puppy?
