That depends on your tegu, what you feed and how much they eat. Like most things each ones different some prefer to eat everyday while others don't. Heavier meals like whole prey can take longer to digest than some processed like a ground meat meal. They might gorge themselves one day then not eat the next day or for a couple of days while it digests and if they do eat it's not much. It's a process that you have to figure out over time what works for your gu.
One of the easiest ways to figure out when to feed and how much food to prepare is to watch their abdomen. Obviously a full abdomen is round but as they digest their food and poop a skin fold starts to develop along each side. With a full abdomen they are more likely to eat less if anything at all. As everything moves along the skin fold starts to develop and the abdomnen's not as full so they'll usually be hungry and eat more.
