Food intake charts for Mice and Rats

Does anyone know where to find such a chart of what a mouse and rat will eat in a day or week or some period of time so as to make some plans?
Thanks Phil

The Mice: A Complete Pet Owner's Manual book says:

"Food consumption: Approximately 1/2 ounce per 3-4 ounces of body weight, or 1/6 ounce ounce of food per mouse per day (15g per 100g body weight, or 6-7g of food per mouse per day."

I suppose the figure could also help with rats as well.
