How old is the chameleon? What type? Boy or girl?
What insects do you use in addition to the roaches?
I feed my male adult panther 5 days a week (generally skip Tuesdays and Thursdays due to work schedule), a few insects each time. If using crickets, I use more of those than if offering big roaches.

At 7 months he's still growing a fair bit, so 5 crickets a day is okay, or an equivalent amount of other bugs (in very general terms, a large superworm or a roach counts like 2 cricket). You can start tappering off what he eats as he ages. Keep an eye on his body condition as a guide (fat pads, tail thickness). Also you could measure and weigh him periodically, to see if growth is slowing and thus so perhaps should food intake.
