Quick answer: An average adult Pomeranian (5 lb / 2.3 kg) needs about 207 kcal a day if spayed or neutered — roughly 0.54 cups of a typical dry food, split into two meals. Pomeranian puppies need more per pound: about 0.46 cups a day at 2 months, rising to 0.64 cups by 6 months.
A starting point, not a prescription. Weigh your dog every 2-4 weeks and adjust by about 10% if they gain or lose weight you didn't intend. Treats should stay under 10% of daily calories.
