I would say that 2-3 worms a month would be more acceptable. They just aren't healthy for them. How big is your frog snout to vent length?

If you were told that the worms are more nutritious, check it out first. the one who told you this probably isn't aware of his mistake. Silkworms on the other hand are far more nutritious, many can be kept in a 10 gallon with mulberry branches and leaves. They are also a very interesting pet as well

Hormworms are awesome, be careful though if feeding bigger quantities, due to a very high water content they may cause diarrhea, but it is great to add them for variety as occasional treat.
Silkworms are not a good feeder though, it stated here as well as in vet literature about these guys containing thiaminase and as such feeding silkworm can cause vitb1 deficiency.
Below is a very nicely out together chart. One of the most comprehensive I've seen for feeders.

Re: Hornwarms for pacman frogs?
Ryan, i would like more info on thiaminase content in silkworms, i havent seen scientific data yet, im still looking, may be that content is minimal, but silkworms are on vet warning list.
I know feeding silkworms is pretty popular in chameleon keepers/breeders circles, so im wondering why is that, granted frog and chameleon metabolism is different, but general principles are the same....
anyone has more information on subject?
