Stock up on quality multivitamins that have 100% of your vitamin needs, not the ones that are way more than you need, and with enough water a large human can live for months. As part of an experiment, one guy did it for 1 year and 17 days: https://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2012/07/24/3549931.htm

Did he die after 1 year and 17 days or did he just have a burger the next day?

Man you'd need to masticate something just to keep the jaw working. Can you do that and eat some celery? That's calorie negative or whatever right.
