This is one of those questions with 100 right answers, but not one of which everyone will agree with.

I do everything on a weekly schedule. A five day schedule is nice but it is too much work for me to remember when to feed them. I feed my snakes every Sunday, with my adult boas getting feed every other Sunday. My babies get 2 food items, yearlings get 1-2 depending on what they eat, adults get 1 food item unless there are left overs.

Feeding is a lot of times just a judgement call. If a snake is looking heavy, I cut back on feeding a little. If a snake is growing fast but looking thin, I feed a little more. Some snakes will eat and then go curl up and hide. Others will eat and then cruise the cage and look very alert to movement, I'll feed more if it looks like they want it.
