It really depends. Our teddy bear hamster had a bowl of food in her cage. We saw her eat a little every day. However, they do stuff a lot of food in their cheeks. She usually did this when she would get her caged clean. Then we usually found the food in her little igloo. We had her for a year and we never had to buy another bag of food. Make sure you feed your hamster lots of greens (they love it).
But for the most part, they don't eat a lot. They might shove a lot of food in their cheeks, but they don't eat it all.
