As long as one got a minimum number of calories per day, using their Basal Metabolic Rate, then it could conceivably sustain life for the duration of supply. Here are accepted formulas for determining minimum calorie intake: Men 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) - 5 x age (y) + 5 Women 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) - 5 x age (y) - 161. Of course, in addition to actual calories we also need a good mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Carbs should be 45% of calories, proteins 30%, and fats 25%. Baby formula is actually in this ratio: 40% carbs, 49% fats, and 11% protein (which doesn't add up to 100% so I'm not sure, but I will source it for you so you can see). In a doomsday scenario, it would keep you alive. Properly mixed baby formula has 20 calories per ounce.
