Using the geometric framework for the first time in a field study of ant nutritional biology, we show that Ectatomma ruidum colonies actively regulate protein–carbohydrate intake, self‐selecting a carbohydrate‐biased diet. These data, combined with quantitative recruitment data, provide a more comprehensive understanding of colony‐level nutritional requirements of ants.
