he has 2 weeks eating his new food, 40 grams 3 times a day, he has 4 months, Its weight is 10 kg.

That seems to be inline.... here is a good guideline for a high quality kibble
8 weeks1/2 cup 3 times a day
12 weeks2/3 to 3/4 cup 3 times a day
4 & 5 months3/4 cup 3 times a day
6 months to 1 year1.25 to 1.5 cups twice a day

I look at this chart and shake my head laughing. I definitely have the exception! Louie is 10 months old and is eating 4 cups a day as he is very active and was looking too thin. He's looking good now and I will probably start dropping the amount down a bit after he gets neutered next month to see if his weight will hold.

The evil twin is the same. Has his hourglass shape n eats about a total of 3 - 4 cups. Nyala eats about a total just over 2 -3 cups n she's 2yrs old. Active dogs will eat more. Not lowering anything for now as they run nonstop outside in the snow. They burn more in winter.

Monsters!! I weighed Jax last weekend and he actually has lost 2 pounds...I'm thinking from all the play with Louie, he is burning more now.

I'm not so bad with your portions :D, I will follow the advice of the pineapple, I hope I do not continue eating your poop after that :(, I also got the labyrinth dish Cup, It's fun to watch her eat hahaha.

Some dogs will do this just because the can... you have to get to the pile before her and hopefully she will stop eating it.

How much pineapple did you add to her food?

Just add a little, 4 or 5 pieces, the problem is that sometimes I'm not at home to prevent him from eating his poop :/, I feel like I can get sick.

Going to be a challenege till you get him potty trained. Any way there would be a friend or neighbor you can have take him out mid-day while you are at work?

The strange thing is that when he goes down to his walk he does not try to eat his poop, it's only when I do not see it, he normally does his needs in his walk not in home.
