it's unlikely you're going to feed a big tortoise "too much". it's possible to feed too much of the wrong diet, but as long as you're feeding the right diet, giant tortoises never stop eating! it's also unlikely that your tort will get too fat just by eating. that being said, you certainly should get your tort on a schedule, so you know when and what the tort has eaten; that's just part of basic maintenance.
