prey 1/3 rule?

I was told that a good way to judge size of prey is 1/3 the weight of the snake.
Is their any truth to this because this would help me a lot. Feeding today i gave Inka (784 grams) a med rat (323 grams) and Maya (127 grams) 2 mice (17 and 23 grams) dose this seam to make sense. I only gave Maya 2 mice because they where the last 2 I had and the rats I have are about 57 grams. I really worry if i am over or under feeding so any help would be great.
