Bamboo stalks vary in sizes. To give you an idea, Pandas eat 20-40 pounds of bamboo each day to provide them with the nutrients they need.

A Giant Panda eats 25 to 40 pounds of bamboo a day.
Adult pandas eat about 40-80 pounds of food a day, 99% of which is bamboo. The other 1% is things like grasses, shrubs, roots, vines and weeds. In captivity they are fed rice, meat, eggs, milk, sugar cane, fruit, carrots, potatoes, honey, bread, and vitamin and mineral supplements along with bamboo.
