How come there isn’t a conflict between the first law of thermodynamics and the theoretical scenario of the Heath Death theory?

ELI5 Version –
People need food, obviously. If I take a sandwich and feed it to someone, they’ll live. Now I have a million people and still only the 1 sandwich. If cut up that sandwich into a million pieces and give them out, no one gets enough energy to live and they all die.
The first law says that energy can’t be created or destroyed, that’s the 1 sandwich, I start with 1 sandwich and only have 1 sandwich. The Heat Death scenario is spreading that 1 sandwich among the million people. It’s not enough to satisfy anyone, and they all die.
