How Do I Know When They're Ready To Switch?

Binx will be 1 in March, and Kaia will be 1 in June. She doesn't need as much as him, she's a smaller cat and he often finishes her leftovers (maybe a couple bites). She's a lazy girl and seems on the heavy side to me - hard to tell if it's just her body shape or chubbiness. Anyway, right now they still eat a ton....6oz in the morning in two meals, and 6oz in the evening in two meals.....each! I'm wondering how I know when to drop them down to 3 meals instead of 2. They are still eating everything I offer...so does that mean they still need it? They also tend to be greedy and I'm thinking even if they aren't hungry, they still eat it all. I'm not sure how to tell the difference between hunger and greed! LOL. Kaia is waiting at the pantry around 9:30am for her second breakfast, and neither will settle for a nap until they've had that...so I'm guessing they still need it.
Eventually I'd like to do breakfast, dinner, and before bed...and take out the second breakfast.

Hi! Maybe these something in these that may be of help:

As your cat turns to adult (at one year old, assuming that they are not the big breeds as big breeds takes 2-4 yers before they reach maturity), their food intake will taper off after their growth spurt which is before they turn into adult cats. During the growth spurt period, they tend to eat more and may continue to eat more during the initial first few months of their first year and soon after, it'll taper down.

Please continue to feed them as much and as often as they still can eat.
