How many pounds of food does an African elephant eat in one day?

To some extent, it depends on the type of elephant you are asking about and where they live. For example, an African elephant in the wild will eat over 770 pounds of food in one day. Elephants in a zoo eat only about 150 pounds of food a day. The Asiatic elephant in the wild eats about 650 pounds of food in one day. As you can see, it varies a good amount between living in the wild and in captivity, as well as among the different breeds of elephants. (Also, just extra information - elephants will eat about 16 hours a day and are vegetarians.)
