In this paper, we discretize and analyze a stoichiometric optimal foraging model where the grazer's feeding effort depends on the producer's nutrient quality. We systematically make comparisons of the dynamical behaviors between the discrete-time model and the continuous-time model to study the robustness of model predictions to time discretization. When the maximum growth rate of producer is low, both model types admit similar dynamics including bistability and deterministic extinction of the grazer caused by low nutrient quality of the producer. Especially, the grazer is benefited from optimal foraging similarly in both discrete-time and continuous-time models. When the maximum growth rate of producer is high, dynamics of the discrete-time model are more complex including chaos. A phenomenal observation is that under extremely high light intensities, the grazer in the continuous-time model tends to perish due to poor food quality, however, the grazer in the discrete-time model persists in regular or irregular oscillatory ways. This significant difference indicates the necessity of studying discrete-time models which naturally include species' generations and are thus more popular in theoretical biology. Finally, we discuss how the shape of the quality-based feeding function regulates the beneficial or restraint effect of optimal foraging on the grazer population.
