There were many species of saber toothed cat, and since each was a different size, they would have eaten a different amount. The most famous, Smilodon fatalis, would have had a median weight of about 485 lbs (350 would be the low end, 620 the high end). An S. fatalis weighing 485 lbs would probably have eaten 17 or 18 lbs of meat per day. Note that they wouldn't have eaten every day; instead, big cats generally make a large kill, gorge themselves, and then don't eat again for a few days.
BTW: This is according to my calculations based on modern big cats; there is no information I'm aware of that states their dietary intake conclusively.

Cats did not evolve from sabertoothed tigers. Rather, sabertoothed cats evolved from other cats. Modern apes evolved from miocene apes, which were somewhat similar. Miocene apes evolved from some lemur-like primate, or perhaps something like a lorise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loris

Which is more powerful - tiger or lion?
A lot of people will say lion , however they are wrong because they are just stupid lion fans that know nothing about a tiger's advantages. The tiger will win because it is stronger! heavier, more agile, bigger, has longer canines, is a better fighter, is smarter, and is not lazy and waits for females to hunt. Tigers rule and lions are no sicken beans
