Solid Gold: we actually brought this bag to the checkout... BUT I remembered to look at the cup intake... and again, this was 4-5 cups for Chocolate! uh-uh, no thanx.

I can't speak for the other brands, but the SG bag says to feed my dog 5 cups as well, and she was porking up on 2 1/2 cups! She now gets a little less than 2 cups and is at a good weight.
This has also been my experience with many other dog foods. The manufacturer tends to make a very high estimate.
I would guess if your dog is in the 50 - 60lb range and has an average metabolism 2 cups or so (3 at most) would be plenty.
