Feeding puppy

My pup is 7 weeks old weighs 4.6kg and is fed om Autarky puppy Spring food.

The packet age and weight ration dont really match my pup, does 185g of food a day sound about right, this is spread over 4 meals for him.

I am not sure if I am under or over feeding him.

I would follow the instructions on the packet my pup is 17 weeks old and he's on a spanish food so i can only go by that brand but my packet say pups of 4kg - 5kg 200g -260g divided by 4 which seems a lot compered to your's but each brand is different so i would go by the packet

I would go by the pack as all foods have different amounts.
My pup was on Royal canin he had to have 230g then I looked to changing him Arden grange was around 180g and Burns was about 125g

I went with Burns as less goes in less comes out

Hi.
Did the breeder not give you a diet sheet of the daily amounts for the puppy?
Follow the advice on the packet but also do a little research on other foods to see what their recommended feeding amount is daily.
