Much the same as any tiger. A "White Tiger" is not a separate species but the phenomena is due to a recessive gene.
White Bengal tigers eat the same as "normal colored" Bengal tigers.

Same thing that regular tigers do.
Meat, and LOTS of it.
"The main source of food for tigers is large, hooved mammals, but they will eat anything they can catch. Where wild prey is scarce, tigers will readily prey on livestock if it is available. The moderately dense covering in which tigers and their prey live aids in the success of their hunting technique. Tigers are stalk and ambush predators, and they use the dense covering to conceal themselves and sneak up on their prey. When the tiger is close enough to its prey, it suddenly rushes at it and attempts to kill it. Only 1 in 10 or 20 attacks is successful. The tiger uses its powerful body to knock the prey off balance. The attack is normally made from the side or rear of the victim, and the objective is to get the prey off of its feet and to deliver a fatal bit to the back of the neck or throat. The tiger may keep his grip several minutes after death. When the tiger is ready to begin eating its kill, it drags the carcass into a dense covering and begins eating the rump. A considerable amount of meat can be consumed at one time (20-35kg), however, if the kill is to sustain an individual over several days, the amount eaten is generally less (15-18kg/day). Female tigers with young have to kill more often to feed their young and themselves as well."

That one in Vegas seemed to enjoy Sigfreid, or was it Roy? I get those two mixed up.
No, really, they don't have a special diet compared to regular tigers. At zoos they get raw meat and veggies and a specially made Tiger Chow from one of the major pet food companies... I think Purina.

I rather suspect that white tigers eat the same things that regular-colored tigers do.

White tigers are cousines of yellow tigers and their diet is same as theirs i.e. meat of deers or rabbit.

Same as regular tigers.
White Skin is due to vitamin B deficiency.
