How much crushed egg shell?

If you use crushed egg shell as your calcium supplement, how much do you sprinkle on the food and how often?

I use a generous pinch every couple meals. I'll add it all the time if the meat is chicken or something else with a poor Ca:P ratio, not always if feeding dog food.

I tend to feed Ca powder with each meal for my indoor blueys, otherwise they get picky and won't eat food sprinkled with it, if only done periodically.

You probably know this already but they will only absorb a small amount of any Ca added in any given meal.
