Age and weight are two important factors in feeding your rabbit.
Age- feeding your rabbit 3 times a day is fine for younger rabbits (under the age of 1 year old) however as your rabbit matures, she only needs to be fed 2 times a day. feeding your rabbit 1 time a day is not enough- food should be fed in smaller increments but at least 2 times a day. the time would usually be dawn and dusk.
Weight- on the back of the pellet bag, you should find a chart that tells you how many cups of pellets per x amount of lbs. pellets are NOT necessary for your rabbit and should be fed daily in minimal increments- this is the same with fruit. pellets are fed solely for providing your rabbit with calcium but the calcium amount on the bag should be under 18% or it might be too high in calcium. pellets with seeds, corn, nuts, etc are NOT good for your rabbit (the ones you have in the photo look good)
Website- if you need additional information about the diet of your rabbit: http://rabbit.org/faq-diet/ also make sure to use google for more useful information.
Contact- you can email me at emily_chhay@yahoo.com if you have any questions about rabbit care, diet, etc. I am more than happy to give you advice. Hope I helped!

My vets advice was 70% hay 20% greens and 10% pellet food. The food your giving is fine and the amount looks okay as well :)
