Lots of posters use AM LMB feed and there are a number of posts about the subject. None of the major (common in use) fish feeders will work with LMB pellets. There are some special feeders that do work with LMB pellets. You may be confusing what a LMB needs (normal growth) with what it will readily eat (max growth). They are pigs, Those are very different concepts as one factors cost into the equation and the other does not. Its aquaculture vs. recreational feeding. In addition basal metabolism and growth vary by location and time of year (temp).
FWIW my HSB react just like the LMB you describe as to LMB pellets.
I can find those LMB pellet threads for you if you need them.
