If what you are asking is; how would one obtain (since you can't make nor destroy energy - first law of thermodynamics) energy if there is no food?

Well, as a human or animal (or any other heterotroph) it is not possible to obtain such energy because unlike plants, we can't take energy from the atmosphere and convert it to usable energy that sustains life.

If one was a photoautotroph or chemoautotroph, then one would be able to convert/obtain energy from sun light or inorganic subtances.

For heterotrophs we need food or else we die.
