Saltwater crocodiles eat fish, birds, and mammals that come too close to the water's edge are eaten. The adult crocodiles will eat almost anything that comes too close. Younger crocodiles will eat smaller fish and insects.

Hope this helps!

Mostly fish (including bull sharks, a favorite for them), but also mammals depending on what is available. Wallabies, pigs, deer, monkeys, cattle, and other species are preyed upon depending on the location. On occasion humans may become prey, in addition to horses and water buffalo. Crocodiles rarely attack other predators but there are records of saltwater crocodiles eating other crocodiles, leopards and other predators.

What is the amount of food that crocodiles eat?

Crocodiles don´t eat as much as hot blooded predators, like lions or tigers. They can live perfectly with one kilogram of meat per day, and they can spend months and even one year without any food.
