They were probably talking more about the frequency than the amount of food.
Feeding everyday over extended periods is not the preferred way.
If your snake needs more than one prey you're better off to feed them multiple items at one time, and then wait til the next scheduled feed to feed them, rather than feed them 1 prey day after day for long periods.
Pick a schedule. Whatever works for you. Some feed hatchlings everything from every 4 to every 7 days. Pick one schedule, and on that day offer your snake his food. If you have to feed him small prey and he needs three fuzzies, give him all three fuzzies on that one day, then wait til the next scheduled feed.
