Feeding too large of meals can lead to regurgitation, which can be a life threatening issue if it occurs repeatedly.
As Hypnoctopus stated, you can shorten the duration between feedings a bit.
Are you familiar with the Munson Plan feeding guide?
It is a good guide to use to help you determine when to move up in prey size.
Weight Freq prey size prey wght
4-15gr 5-6 days pinks 2-3gr
16-23gr 5-6 days dbl pinks 3gr X2
24-30gr 6-7 days sm fuzzy 5-7gr
30-50gr 6-7 days fuzzy 7-9gr
51-90gr 6-7 days hopper 9-12gr
91-170gr 6-7 days weanling 14-20gr
170-400gr *7 days adult 20-30gr
401+gr *7 days xl adult 30-50gr

*Every 7-14 days for adult females, 14-21 days for adult males
**Snake weight X.2 prey size weight (approximate) adjust as necessary

Yes I'm familiar with that plan, thank you. I just gave her 3g instead of 1g, she digested it as normal, so I will stick to that with a 5 day break
