There is a limit to calorie intake. I can’t remember how much it is. Let’s just say it would be 500 kcal per hour. If in a food shortage situation that would leave you with supplies to get you through three days you simply would need to eat it through a tree me span of about 12 hours and should have similar effect as if you’d ration it over the days. Hunger would probably be an issue and you would feel down and tired since after some time you could only rely on fat to delivery energy to your muscles and brain.
