It definitely depended on the type of dinosaur. Herbivores, like Triceratops and Apatosaurus would have constantly grazed on plants during their waking hours, probably like modern cows or elephants. I would assume large carnivores like T-rex would have eaten a tremendous amount of meat every few days, similar to large carnivores today, such as lions. Smaller carnivores, like Coelophysis, probably constantly hunted for small prey, and eat several "snacks" each day.

No. They ate everyday, like every other animal.


The size of their appetite also depended on the size of the dinosaur and the size of the prey it eats.

No. Even when you include birds as dinosaurs grasshoppers cannot eat them for two main reasons. First, grasshoppers are herbivores, not predators. Second, grasshoppers are too small to prey on birds. However, birds often eat grasshoppers and many of the smaller non-avaian dinosaurs probably did as well.
