Switching to Fromm confused

Ok so I'm gradually switching my 11 week old to fromm gold adult. My plan was to switch to fromm gold adult large breed but the store was out and the 2 weren't that different. She is on eukanuba large puppy breed now and I give her 2 cups daily. 1 cup am, 1 cup pm. My question is once I gradually add in the fromm I know she should get less of the fromm so how do I work that in? Tonight i did 3/4cup eukanuba and 1/4cup fromm but im thinking in end she shouldnt be getting 2 cups of fromm daily? And the bag for the fromm gold adult large breed doesn't even have recommendation because the weight starts at 40lbs.
So for now with fromm gold adult how much should she get daily? And hopefully next bag would be fromm gold adult lg breed what would she get daily?
Thanks!
She's about 11-12lbs now!

The calorie counts for both brands are pretty similar. Eukanuba is 337/cup and Fromm is 378/cup, so the amount you feed should be almost the same. If she is doing well on the amount of calories she is getting , then 1 7/8 of a cup daily or 1 cup am and 7/8 c in pm should give you the same number of calories, or just slightly less than 1 c in am and pm. Please make sure you are using a proper measuring cup. Also, I believe there liquid measuring cup is bigger than a dry measuring cup.

My Gabby has been on adult food since she was about 3.5 months. She is eating 1.5 cups twice daily. I feed my dogs Wellness Super 5 Mix chicken, not large breed.

At that age I would be doing three meals a day if its feasible. I would do 1/2 cup 3x/day. About 12-14 weeks I'd bump up as necessary as she grows. I don't think 2 cups per day is too much if she is at a good weight.

I fed Fromm LB Adult and the dogs loved it! Make sure you buy it from a vendor that offers the buy 12, get 1 free program.
