There really isn't some magic number... just let your little one eat until its full.

As was mentioned, just feed as much as they'll eat. It's usually pretty easy to tell when they're done. Aside from not eating more, both of mine give me a disintrested, "Pish-posh, you're still feeding me?" look when they're done.
For how often, usually as they get older you can switch to every other day feeding. Skipping a day won't kill a healthy leo, and at some point it'll probably become obvious when to go to alternate day feeding. My older one is on every other day, because she's just not too interested in food every day. The younger one is a complete piggy though. If it's very young, feeding every day is definitely a good idea. Anything younger than 1 year is my guideline, but it's not an exact science.
