TMS320F28388D: Control each byte received by FIFO

To allow compatibility to a program, I need to process each byte I receive from I2C EEPROM before save them. I can't save them and process later.

I've looked into EEPROM polling example and found this receiver function:

uint16_t I2C_ControllerReceiver(struct I2CHandle *I2C_Params)
{
    uint16_t status;
    uint16_t attemptCount;

    uint32_t base = I2C_Params->base;

    I2C_disableFIFO(base);
    I2C_enableFIFO(base);

    status = I2C_TransmittargetAddress_ControlBytes(I2C_Params);

    if(status)
    {
        return status;
    }

    uint16_t numofSixteenByte  = (I2C_Params->NumOfDataBytes) / I2C_FIFO_LEVEL;
    uint16_t remainingBytes    = (I2C_Params->NumOfDataBytes) % I2C_FIFO_LEVEL;

    I2C_setConfig(base, (I2C_CONTROLLER_RECEIVE_MODE|I2C_REPEAT_MODE));

    I2C_sendStartCondition(base);

    uint16_t i,count = 0,buff_pos=0;
    while(count < numofSixteenByte)
    {
        status = handleNACK(base);
        if(status)
        {
          return status;
        }

        count++;

        attemptCount = 1;
        while(!(I2C_getRxFIFOStatus(base) == I2C_FIFO_RXFULL) && attemptCount <= 9 * (I2C_FIFO_RXFULL + 2U))
        {
            DEVICE_DELAY_US(I2C_Params->Delay_us);
            attemptCount++;
        }

        for(i=0; i<I2C_FIFO_LEVEL; i++)
        {
            I2C_Params->pRX_MsgBuffer[buff_pos++] = I2C_getData(base);
        }
    }

    attemptCount = 1;
    while(!(I2C_getRxFIFOStatus(base) == remainingBytes) && attemptCount <= 9 * (remainingBytes + 2U))
    {
       DEVICE_DELAY_US(I2C_Params->Delay_us);
       attemptCount++;
    }

    I2C_sendStopCondition(base);

    for(i=0; i<remainingBytes; i++)
    {
        I2C_Params->pRX_MsgBuffer[buff_pos++] = I2C_getData(base);
    }

    status = handleNACK(base);
    if(status)
    {
      return status;
    }

    I2C_disableFIFO(base);

    attemptCount = 1;
    while(I2C_getStopConditionStatus(base) && attemptCount <= 3U);
    {
        DEVICE_DELAY_US(I2C_Params->Delay_us);
        attemptCount++;
    }

    return SUCCESS;

}

Works very well, the only problem is that it continue to ask bytes until stopCondition is reached and, almost always, I get 1 more byte than asked number of bytes from this function.

What I'd like to ask if I can set how much byte I want to receive and be sure that this will be respected.

Something like:

I2C_setConfig(base, (I2C_CONTROLLER_RECEIVE_MODE));

I2C_setDataCount(base, nRxBytes);

But is not working.

Another question I'd like to ask if I can decide WHEN to receive next byte. To explain I need to get 1 byte, process it, then get another byte etc.

I don't need any interrupt or something particular. Just polling each rx byte.
