The principle of allocation leads to trade-offs, which are the relationships between the benefits of resource investment decisions in one context compared to the costs of those decisions in another context. Optimal foraging theory quantifies the benefits (in terms of energy content) of various prey choices and the costs (in terms of energy inputs for cap

Thus, the constraints are the shape of the curve of diminishing returns and the travel time (the time it takes to make a round trip from the nest to a patch and back).

Handling time (h) is the amount of time it takes the predator to handle the food, beginning from the time the predator finds the prey item to the time the prey item is eaten.
