I'm uncertain how many (Ironman) endings you've gotten, but those help drastically with early game progression. You gotta hunt down "bad end" places, but its really not the worst, as you can just choose to fail at those endings. Each one gives you an extra point for later runs.  This can also solve your food problem, though I would personally say that oral might be the better route as that fills your food meter up as well.
