Food

The Lostaways have several sources of food, but mainly just protein and carbobohydrate.

Natural

Protein

Collecting food is dangerous, hard work

• Pork from feral boars, generally hunted and killed by John Locke. (However, since filming with boars is a production nightmare, boar has been deemphasized as part of the Lostaway diet.)
• Seafood, including fish and sea urchin, usually procured by Jin, who was raised by a fisherman, and mussels, which can be pulled off the rocks at the beach
• The Tailies successfully caught, killed and cooked up a feral chicken, however chickens have not been seen near the main camp
• Danielle is depicted in a deleted scene on the Season 1 DVDs as eating a raw egg, likely liberated from a bird's nest

Carbohydrates

• Fruit, including plantains, bananas, mangos, guava and papayas, often gathered by Kate
• Coconut milk and the flesh of the coconut
• Locke is seen eating an orange in the Pilot as Kate removes a pair of boots from a corpse.
• The contents of Sun's garden, which have not been specifically identified but both herbs (which may be either medicinal and/or edible) and fruit tree saplings (specifically guava and mango) have been mentioned.

• The survivors used remaining airplane food as their main source of food until it ran out around the time of the episode Walkabout. This is depicted when Hurley delivers two trays of it to Claire in the Pilot
• The DHARMA Supply Drop, which provides them with DHARMA-branded staples familiar to consumers of the Western diet. This food, originally discovered in The Swan , was the source of The Big Feast. It may be irradiated, as the ranch dressing, at least, can last for seven years without refrigeration.
• Much of the food is labeled DI 9FFTR731.
• List of DHARMA-supplied food:
  • Peanut Butter
  • Apollo Candy Bars
  • DHARMA Ranch Dressing
  • Dharmalars
  • Nacho-type chips (Hurley was using them to scoop up the ranch dressing when caught by Sawyer)
  • Cereal
  • DHARMA Merlot (Desmond is seen drinking from a bottle in "Live Together, Die Alone," as is Kelvin in the same episode. Locke also takes a healthy swig.)
  • Macaroni and cheese
  • Cheeto-like food (among the food from his stash that Hurley trashed)
  • Pickles (label visible in picture)
  • Vegetable Oil (label visible in picture)
  • Pasta (label visible in picture)
  • Apple Cider (label visible in picture)
  • Salami Sausage (among supplies Hurley was packing for his and Libby's picnic)
  • Wine (Hurley goes to get some from Rose and Bernard for his and Libby's picnic in "Two for the Road," a bottle of white DHARMA wine in Sawyer's tent is also visible in "Two for the Road."
  • Oreo Cookies (Hurley gives Sawyer some advice on how to separate the cookie from the frosting)
  • DHARMA Nutribar (Sawyer offers Hurley one on the hike to free Walt)
  • Fish crackers (Goldfish?)
  • Tuna (Rose mentions it to Hurley while they're doing the survey and it looks like Kate and Jack are eating some during the party)
  • Olive Oil (label visible in picture)
  • Ketchup (label visible in picture)
