How much should i feed my 2 month old leopard gecko?

Hey guys, so I'm new here and I've only recently got my leopard gecko today and i just had a quick question about feeding, I've read already that feeding should be about once every two days, as did the lady at the shop, but I was just wondering about potions, I know some people just feed them until they stop eating, or see how much they will eat in a 10-15 minute span, i was just wondering if there is any advise he is 4-5 inches and so far I've been feeding him on meal worms, thanks in advance to everyone who reply and help out!

I feed mine every day until they reach 40g, then I go to every other day. Honestly, I just kind of wing it. Not every gecko is the same so some may have bigger appetites or faster metabolisms than others. So I just put in some mealworms and see how quickly they go. If they're all gone in less than 5 minutes i add more. If there's still a bunch left after the lizard had left his dish, then I remove them, and feed less next time. The general rule is as much as they'll eat in 15 minutes (as long as its not a completely obscured amount)

That's great, thank you!

At that age every day about as much as they want.
