To stay alive, larger animals need more food than smaller animals. But it also matters whether an animal is warm-blooded or cold-blooded. Since we aren't sure about dinosaurs, figuring out how much food they ate is not quite so simple.

Warm-blooded animals have a higher metabolism: they need more food to stay alive. Cold-blooded animals have a lower metabolism: they need less food to stay alive.

A carnivore or meat eater dinosaur probably would eat us just like today's meat eater animals. They seem to consider anything with meat worth eating. Some logical explanations on why they would eat us is this. Maybe it's to help them keep some variety in their diet so they still have other options in case something bad happens to one or more of their other prey, maybe they just don't have a preference on what they want to eat.

Depends on if you're thinking about anatomy or chronology.

Anatomically there were several meat eating dinosaurs which probably would have been quite happy to snack on humans.

Chronologically, it couldn't happen. Dinosaurs went extinct long, long before humans, or anything human-like had developed.

Dinosaurs & people did not really live at the same time-that is just in the movies. Good question though, I thought the same thing for a long time.

Well meat-eaters [carnivore's] eat other dinasaurs or whatever meat they can find . Hebivores eat grass and vegetation . An omnivore would eat both meat and vegetation
