Food Ratios for my 4+yearold beardie

[StreetMoggy]

So i recently adopted a dragon, age is unknown, but he is at least 4 years.
This is my first dragon, so it's a learning experience. His previous owner said he ate meal worms twice a week, and occasional horn worms but didn't state how many at a time.
doesn't a horn worm go against the whole "no bigger than the gap between his eyes" rule...???

so here is his current diet for the past 3 weeks since i've had him
daily dark greens (kale and collards) as much as he wants, usually eats my small female palm full daily.
I mix in a different veggie every day, so one day shredded carrot, another day bell pepper, another day cherry tomato. and then every couple days i add fruits melon and strawberry so far.
I mist his food with water because i have yet to see him actually drink (but fresh water is provided)
He is awesome at eating his daily salad.

twice a week i've been giving him meal worms, I know now that this should not be the staple protein, so i'm going to hunt around the next town over and see all my feeding options, I will probably try to change it up every time so he gets a good rounded protein diet.
But today we are stuck with meal worms, so he eats about 10 in a session, twice a week.i'd say they are med size if i switch to phoenix or crickets or whatever, do you think 10 is too much or to little? when I find something healthier should i keep it to twice a week or more often?

what do you guys think???

Here is a great site which shows you what fruit and veg is safe for beardies to eat, all the ones highlighted green can be fed daily as a staple veg. http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html

This is the feeding schedule I use for my adult beardies:

They get a Daily salad that consists of mainly Collard Greens, to this I add a few bearded dragon pellets and depending on what I have in I also add some of the following: grated Butternut Squash, Pak Choi, Endive, Mustard Greens, Dandelion Greens, Peppers, grated Parsnip, Kale.

Every other Day they get fed live food, approx 5 items of large prey (no bigger than the space betweek their eyes) this consists of: Locust, Crickets, Butterworms, Superworms and occasionally Silkworms.

Their live food is dusted with Repcal calcium with D3 2x then Repcal Herptivite 1x.

I also check my beardies weight regularly to ensure they are maintaining a healthy weight.

They should not be overweight but should have fat around the base of the tail and pads on the top of their head.

yes I have been going by that site for feeding, but i had also read that the older they are the less insects he will eat?
