   I love this question (even if it is theoretical) !
   Well a male lion may gorge on 50 lbs of meat in one sitting and as ligers are typically 50-70 % larger and heavier than male lions, it follows they could probably consume 50-70 % (75-85 lbs) more food in total. Probably 100 lbs for the largest specimens !
   Lets say a pork chop weighs 1/2 lb, the largest specimens could put away 200 pork chops !

   Zoos don’t feed pork to their big cats because uncooked pork harbor parasites that could make them sick and even kill them. Restaurants in the USA are required to cook their pork for a minimum of 20 minutes. Captive big cats are fed beef, horse meat and commercially prepared diets.
   “The following is an example of a feeding regime for the Sumatran tiger:
   One day: fasting.
   One day: chunk of horsemeat – male 9 lbs., female 6 lbs.
   Five days: Spectrum feline diet beef – male 9 lbs., female 6 lbs. “

   well a liger can only consume 2 unicorn steaks per day so factor in wind resistance and that results in 512 pork chops per day basically
