Mine get fed at least 3 times a day, I throw in the occasional pellets about everytime I walk by since they always seem hungry

They will always look hungry, but it would be wise to not do that. Don't give what they want, give what they need only.
First off, I feed my zz( 7") hicari gold med. pellets. Ok with that being said, she gets two meals of 10-15 pellets and 2 or three pellets about 3 times a day. She was being power fed for a month or so a while back and she ate constant little meals all the time. oh yea, she also was getting my culls from the yellow labs and peacocks i was breeding. She loved those. She's the one in my avitar by the way.
My 6 inch fish gets about 10 chingmix pellets in the morning , 30 minutes after a slice prawn, about twice the size of a green pea. Next feeding is 2:30 pm, 6 humpy head pellets, again slice of prawn. 5 PM, 6-10 Chingmix pellets, 7:30 pm onwards about 15 -20 more pellets depending on how long I stay watching the fish 
My Feeding is dictated not by the fish but by my lifestyle.
Wake up. put pellets go to bathroom, after that feed shrimp go to work, I get home at 2:30 PM, feed with pellets, dress up, pee, get shrimp, sleep. Wake up at around 5 30 PM, feed fish. After dinner feed fish, wash plates, watch fish and feed
He gets more food on weekend, holidays and when I am sick at home !!!

you're all missing the point. he means how many pieces of pellets did you feed your fish. not how many times a day.
