jastate09 is right. i got superworms a couple weeks ago and only fed them 2-3 times a week.
but you can still feed small ones though.

Absolutely he can eat appropriately sized superworms. I use baby supers, baby silks, baby roaches etc for all my baby chameleons

The golden rule on here is variety. Mix supers in with other insects you have, such as crickets or fruit flies. I will use them quite often during the week, sometimes as a snack after a lunch of something else, or sometimes as the full meal. My guys love them, along with roaches, crickets, hornworms, an whatever else I have on hand.
However, I've read somewhere, I think, that the smaller the superworm, the less meat to shell ratio it has. So they end up being more shell than anything else, compared to a larger jucier one. So that's something to keep in mind. But I could be wrong.

ditto - i agree with the above.
a couple a week is going to be totally fine. if you start giving a couple a day, you could end up with troubles.
