How much do adult robins eat in a day? (injured robin -need help)?

Question

I've found an injured adult robin with a broken wing. Have had it about a week. Early on, it would eat 50 mealworms or more a day but now it's picky or maybe not eating them at all. Can't really tell because the worms get tossed all around the floor and I don't know how many have been eaten or not. Before, it would eat them promptly from a dish when brought them even if I was in the room. Now it doesn't get excited about the food- at least when I'm there.

I wonder if it was just very hungry before because it hadn't had big meals due to the winter and now it's stuffed and doesn't need to eat as much.

Other than that, it seems healthy. Jumps around quickly and with strength it seems. Has a strong voice. Drinks and bathes in a pan of water ( I guess. water is less and splashed everywhere when I check. Haven't actually witnessed it).

just not sure if its health is deteriorating with no obvious signs. I plan to take it to a wildlife center when I'm not blizzarded in.

Different section same answer as the one posted in birds :

You really need to get him to a rehab asap so they can fix the wing. Bone calcification starts relatively quick and you don't want it setting the wrong way. If you have a local vet that can take a look at it at the moment and when you've dug you're way out of the snow off to the rehab center. Not to mention a broken wing is like having a broken arm, quite painful, so the faster he gets to a center the better as they can give him pain killers. Try giving him a dish with blueberries as well, robins eat a lot of small fruits, especially in winter.
