Answer
At that age, twice a day is fine.  You can cut back to one a day at 6 months if you want to.  

You should be feeding a puppy chow now. Switching to an adult chow for the larger breeds at 4 months, slows growth and helps develop sturdier joints.

Your dog definitely should be narrower at the waist than the hips and chest. You should be able to easily feel the ribs, but not see them. Each dog is different. Standard recommendations are a good place to start, but each dog must have its food and exercise adjusted to its individual needs. Here is a link to a good illustrated guide, http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx

Feed a decent chow and as little else as possible, seldom if ever bathe the dog, and brush it daily with a soft bristled brush. When it tries to bite, give it a stern ''Ah, ah, ah!''.  If it continues to bite, quit and walk off and ignore him.  To have your continued attention, he has to quit biting the brush.
