Calling it 'Eating' is quite misleading. But it was three times in a day, they were served 'tea' and soup.
Different categories of prisoner would be given different rations. The Jew's ration of 200 Calories per day was almost never met, as though this much food was ordered, often some would be spoiled and that which was not spoiled would often be reduced by anyone picking the best bits before it got to the end-user.
Typically, it is estimated that Concentration Camp prisoners were given between 150-270 calories per day depending on the season and availability of food to be spared.
about 3000 calories
There was no daily quota, there were days where no one died and days where 30 000 died.
Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Army on January 27, 1945. This day is now commemorated as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The first gassings of prisoners occur in Auschwitz I on Wednesday 3rd September 1941. The SS tests Zyklon B gas by killing 850 people, Mainly soviet POWs and people who were weak and ill. Testing takes place in a gas chamber in the cellar of Block 11 in Auschwitz I. The success of these experiments leads to the adoption of Zyklon B as the killing agent for Auschwitz II-Birkenau. ___________ However, those early gassing were experimental. Auschwitz did not become a routine gassing centre till well into 1942, after Treblinka and Belzec.
there was no daily quota. At its height 30 000 were killed per day.
The phrase was used by the Nazis purposefully so that the people coming there would think that it was a work camp and that there was a possibility that they would someday be released if they were cooperative and worked. There were thousands and thousands of Jews arriving each and every day. There were not enough German guards to contain them if they decided to riot and overthrow the Germans. So the phrase was used as a purposeful deception - and, unfortunately, it worked. The phrase is tragically ironic in that Nazi scientists planned out the diets of the prisoners at camps like Auschwitz. The prisoners were given just below the amount required to survive. As they worked, they were using these calories. As long as the prisoners worked, they were dying a death of slow starvation. The only liberty planned for the prisoners was death, and the work done at Auschwitz was the easiest way for the Nazis to reach that goal.

6,000 a day
Auschwitz did not exist at that time.
Prisoners in the camp received meals three times a day: morning, noon, and evening. Factors influencing the nutritional value of the food included the official nutritional norms in the Nazi concentration camps. In practice, Auschwitz prisoners with less physically demanding labor assignments received approximately 1,300 calories per day, while those engaged in hard labor received approximately 1,700. After several weeks on such starvation rations in the camp, most prisoners began to experience organic deterioration that led to the so-called "Muzulman" state, extreme physical exhaustion that ended in death.
The holocaust prisoners worked from dusk till dawn. 12 hours a day.
