Amount to feed?

I'm doing a paper about the cost of ant care, and I need to know how many workers are required to eat one gram of sugar and one gram of protein in an hour. Let's say they're tetramorium ants.

You could test this yourself by puthing the food outside and watching.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]
