I personally keep my BP on a 5-day schedule. I know many breeders like to keep their BPs on a 5-day feeding schedule from hatchling to sub-adult and/or 1000 grams. However, it also works great for an underweight snake. If the BP you bought was a supposed "problem feeder", giving too much in too short of time span can do more harm than good. Too many meals in quick succession after not eating very often at all can stress out the snake's digestive system. My best advice would be to stick to every 5 days. Or, if you really wish to, every 4 days minimum. Every 4 days is about the lowest I'll go.
It's like what happened to some of those saps on Survivor quite some time ago - they won a huge gourmet buffet, and after gorging themselves, half of them threw up because their systems were not used to so much food.
