I think there's too many variables to post a schedule as simple as the one you put up, Jeremy. It all depends on breeding. If I wasn't breeding the animals, the schedule you posted would work well, possibly even overfeeding a bit for adults.
I feed at about the same rate for juveniles. For adults before breeding season, I up their feeding just a little bit, probably every two weeks until I'm ready to shut them down for cycling. After breeding I also tend to feed them more often to get their weight back on. This is dependent on how much weight they lost, I will sometimes feed them up to once a week for a short period if they lost a good bit of weight before putting them back down to a normal feeding schedule.
All in all, I think the whole deal is helping to inhibit proper growth and then to maintain healthy weight once adulthood is hit. Proper growth does not mean fast growth, but a healthy development.
