Make sure to View Feeding Order when you use the calculator ItMe linked. If you feed all of one fruit, then all of another, you'll top out or bottom out one of the RGB values and throw all the calculations off. There's also a little bit of RNG involved, so you might end up a few colors away from your target. If that happens, do a second calculation and feeding to correct it.

If you have ever used a paint program or tried making a website, you may be familiar with RGB, where you have a scale of 0-255 for each color (red, blue and green). The foods increase or decrease each value so feeding them 255 times is a change you would notice.

So do I feed him 1 apple every 6 hours then? or is it wasted if I feed 8 in a row?
I fed him another 4 and hes 100% the same as before, desert yellow?

I think you can feed them all in one go.

You can feed your chocobo all in one go, however you’re not just going to feed them apples.

Here’s the calculator for dalamud red, follow that to a T, get extra fruit just in case. What you’re going to do is feed fruit *one at a time*. When you get the message that your chocobo is changing colors, switch to the next fruit on the calculator list. Keep going, IN THE ORDER the calculator states.

I seen some people with smaller chocobos, and some with larger, taller.

What fruits do you feed to increase the mass and size?

The size of your chocobo depends on your race. Lalas have tiny chocobos, roes have large ones
