Maybe you set snares at night. Once a week or so you catch a pig or deer. You gorge yourself, cut and dry strips of meat and live off them the rest of the time. In the right environment you could probably do that indefinitely.

If you are catching something once a week that means you have to carry a week's worth of food.

A few strip of meat a day won't sustain you if you are walking all day and burning calories. This is why people used to have bread as their staple food.

That doesn't follow. The need for food is generally overrated.
