That's a good starting point.
For reference, my GSD... on average(some days more, in which case he gets fed more), exercises heavily about 1 hour per day... on those days, he gets about 1/8lb chicken liver and one leg quarter.
On days like today where I've been working/at the office most of the day, he got one chicken thigh and one chicken liver.
Sunday.. he'll get about 3 hours of exercise, so I'll give him 3 legs and a thigh.
If they feel too skinny(you can see their ribs..), add an extra leg/thigh to each meal. If they're too fat(it's "mushy" if running your hand down their side), remove one for a few days.
It's mostly dependent on their energy level and how much they exercise... and of course their weight/breed. You'll feed a GSD more than you would an American Staffordshire. Likewise, you'd feed a French Mastiff more than a GSD.. but not much, as a French Mastiff isn't nearly as active as a GSD.
Hooch will start running around the house if I don't take him out to work and/or play that day... for hours.
