With my 2x dogs, theres a bowl of food down for them all day and they pick at it throughout the day, i find by feedin them at set times, they seem to eat all their food in one go, i leave food down all day and night for them and this way they dont become greedy

Twice a day, main meal after our morning walk (at least an hour after of course) and once after we eat about 7.30 ish. That's the only way I can fit in the 2 hours after eating before exercise and it means it's unlikely to be too far from the normal meal times of any foster dogs which arrive. Plus a few biscuits in the morning to keep Fly's blood sugar up before exercise and a pig's ear or bone last thing to calm her down for the night.

 

As dogs in the wild wouldn't make a kill every day some people fast their dogs for a day every so often, the wolves at the deer centre in St Andrews are only fed 6 days a week for the same reason. It's not something I personally do, but there's nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't recommend it for a pup though, anyway most bitches would move heaven and earth to get something (even if its something small) for their pups so it would be less likely to happen in the wild.
