ATR72/Q400 IDLE Fuel Flow

Does anyone have numbers at hand about the IDLE fuel flow of either model (I guess they are pretty much similar). I am looking for ground idle and flight idle, if something like this applies to a prop.
I have an ATR72 manual and I am wondering about the fuel burned at descent. I know you always need to burn some fuel to keep the engine running (300kg/hr and more for a CFM56), but there are various descent profiles in the manual and I have problems identifying the idle fuel.

Thanks for any info.
