Probably less than 30 %. Most of Washington's troops carried their own food or foraged; there was not an organized supply of food (think of the starving troops at Valley Forge, Winter of 1777 - 1778), and note that without refrigeration, most food spoiled quickly - with most of the war was fought in the north - central Jersey - PA, food from the south was not easily transported to the troops.
