They ate plants. More specifically the leaves of prehistoric ferns and other low plants. They would eat the leaves of short trees if necessary. Apatosaurus couldn't lift its neck because of its centre of balance. I know all of this because I watched a program on National Geographic and I have a book on every dinosaur ever known. It is called "Dinosaurs - A to Z: The Ultimate Dinosaur Encyclopedia".

How does a brontosaurus attack other animals?
Brontosaurus (technically called Apatosaurus) was a plant-eating dinosaur that had no real means of 'attacking' other animals. Their primary defense would have been their large size, and possibly the ability to use their tail as a sort of 'whip' would also be useful in defense.
How fast does a Apatosaurus run?
The Apatosaurus was a quadruped, which means that it walked on four legs. Like other large sauropods, Apatosaurus could not travel quickly.
In order to reach vegetation very high in trees, Apatosaurus may have reared onto its hind legs and used its tail to form a "tripod."
Apatosaurus were migratory, traveling between feeding grounds with other Apatosaurus in herds.
Apatosaurus was a plant eater, or herbivore. They were huge, four legged dinosaurs with long necks, tiny heads, and whip-like tails.
Where was the brontosaurus habitat?
Brontosaurus is actually an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus. Apatosaurus fossils come from the Morrison Formation of western North America and date to between 154 and 150 million years ago. At that time, the area was a semi-arid subtropical plain with distinct wet and dry seasons. Near rivers, there were forests of conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, ferns, and horsetails. Further from the rivers there were open areas covered in ferns with scattered trees.
How did the brontosaurus defend itself?
The Dilophosaurus was a theropod, so speed provided by bipedal locomotion would be an advantage to run away from larger predators of the Jurassic.
Also Dilophosaurus hunted in small groups, and that fact could be a protection from attacks of other theropod predators.

Apatosaurus was an herbivore, so it probably wasn't aggressive to other animals. However, they did grow to be 75 feet long, 15 feet tall to the highest point on the back, and weighed 18 to 25 tons. Because of their large size they could inflict serious damage to a smaller animal if they felt threatened.
How much did an apatosaurus eat per day?
Well: 1500lbs bear eats 10000 calories a day, apatosaurus weigh on average 100000lbs or 45 tons. approx. 600000 calories a day! They had to eat all day long to support their weight!
I believe you are thinking of Ceratosaurus. Ceratosaurus wasn't large enough to hunt adult sauropods, but could hunt young ones or scavenge on adults. Allosaurus, however, was much larger, so Ceratosaurus would have to wait for its turn if it wanted to scavenge at the same site as Allosaurus.
