How much to feed kittens?

Hi all. Wonder if I could ask your advice about how much to feed my 12 week old kittens? I've got them on Luna & Me complete raw food, with half a chicken neck each or a bit of offal once a week. Just doing some internet research on how much raw food to give, it seems like the rule for adult cats is 2-4% of ideal bodyweight, and for kittens it's double that, so say 8% to be generous. But that's still less than 40g a day which seems not enough. I'm giving them about a tablespoon full per meal which is probably about 15g and I'm feeding them 4 times a day at the moment so that's maybe 60g each per day. They wolf it down and want more, but their little bellies look very full and round after each meal, so I don't know if I'm under or over feeding them. They are healthy, playful and active and using their tray etc. Any advice?

There is calculator on the website. Put the individual kitten weight & it tells you. It’s on the left hand side -food calculator- & an empty box underneath it to put the weight in.
