Common sense would lead me to believe that you are not over feeding if Max isn't obese. Once the base of his tale gets circular instead of oval, that is the sure fire sign to tell if he is eating too much. Chameleons should always have visible ribs, they aren't a rolly-polly lizard like a leopard gecko, it's only when there are deep indentations between the ribs you should be concerned. I also thought Max was a younger chameleon, so you should be feeding him more than 5 crickets a day, I can't remember his age though, 5-10 a day for an adult is alright, or every two days, but for a youngin you should be feeding him as much as he'll eat, until the first cricket he has to struggle to get down.
Plus, crickets aren't high in fat, and if he is active he will burn off any extra 'pounds'. If you were feeding him waxworms or mealworms, you'd notice an increase in girth, but crickets are more of an empty shell with some protein, like a lettuce wrap with nothing in it.
As always, I'd advise that you switch to roaches. Orange heads or discoids are a good choice.
