Did the dinosaur eat once a week?

We don't know how often dinosaurs ate exactly, but we can make good hypotheses on the subject based on their body size and probable body temperature. The largest sauropod dinosaurs (like Brachiosaurus) probably needed to eat at an almost constant rate when awake, so as to maintain their massive body weight. These dinosaurs may or may not have been cold-blooded. Looking at dinosaurs that were most likely warmblooded (the theropods, or meat eaters), they probably had to eat fairly often as well, in order to maintain their high body temperatures and stay active. So, to answer the question, no. Dinosaurs probably ate a LOT more than once a week.
