Appropriate amounts of cat food?

Good evening!

My two girls just got their dinner, and when one was taking a break and cleaning herself, the second one munched down all of her own food plus the third the first one had left behind on her dish.

The thing is, they already got their breakfast, snacks throughout the day and I gave them considerably much for todays dinner because I needed to empty a can.

I believe they're both satisfied now, but this got me wondering because I have usually fed them according to recommendations on the food cans. On the other side, I heard that cats, if fed an appropriate diet (as I am doing; eg. wet food, no grains/sugars/plant fats and dry snacks with the highest amount of meat possible - expensive food, but not in the "shiny golden food can but actually all there is inside is worthless feather meal and byproducts" kind of way), will eat as much as they need without gaining too much weight. So now I'm wondering, should I always feed them this much?

They're indoor cats and I'd rather got that topic worked out before I give them twice the meal sizes and end up with two overweight cats.

What are your experiences?
