Feeding schedule and diet (8-month old)

We have a bearded dragon who we think is about 8 months old. He is 230 grams and 15 inches.

We have been feeding him insects 2x per day (up to 30-40 crickets per day or black soldier fly larvae) and endive, bok choy, spring mix or arugula. He is fed every day.

Dietary balance has been leaning toward 70-80% protein and 20-30% veggies.

I suspect this is out of balance as we should be reducing protein and daily feeds. Everywhere I look has wildly conflicting information on amount, number of feeds a week, ratio of protein to veggies, etc

Any advice from experienced owners? Help a brother out and help us ensure we are doing everything we can for our beardie.
