They can go through growth stages where they eat A TON of food...personally I'm a scheduled feeder. Mine are fed 2 or 3 times a day (depending on where we've been, if they got treats, if there's only one with me, etc.) for 30 mins to an hour, then I take away the food. Some people leave it out all day, which I've heard helps them to eat less because they nibble a little at a time and then play to burn off the calories...versus them eating a whole bowl 3 (or 6...lol) times a day and then falling asleep and keeping all the fat in them. Mine don't really have problems with that because they're both super active.
I think 6 times a day is a little too much though...you don't want her to be overweight as that can cause significant health problems. Someone here may know more than me about this, but I've never heard of a health problem where they started eating too much...but rather I would think eating less or not eating at all would be much more serious. My advice is to feed her 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, evening) and give her a low calorie snack or two in between meals if she's hungry. Also make sure she gets plenty of exercise. If you can't walk her or she doesn't like to walk, just play with her inside actively for at least 30 mins a couple times a day.
