Yeah, I knew about the ridges, I just guess feeding must not be an exact science.

It's definitely not an exact science, hence the apparently contradictory info you'll see from different care sheets where authors are just stating their preferred method.
You don't have to jump to every other day feeding if you're concerned you're doing it too early. Start by skipping every fourth meal, then every third meal, and so on. A calendar to keep track is a good idea, especially if you're sharing care taking duties with someone else.
Monitoring your frogs weight with a digital scale can also be a good idea to keep track of growth or weight loss. How often you weigh in depends on how well the frog tolerates handling and how paranoid you are about this. Keep in mind their weight will be highly variable depending on the amount of water they're currently holding, so it's really long term trends you'd be looking for.
