According to Hurley inEverybody Hates Hugo, there was enough food for 1 person eating 3 meals a day for 3 months. According to the blast door diagram, there is a food drop every 6-8 months. The fact that there was such a small amount of food in the pantryimplies that Desmond didn't know about the food drops. The food drops supply 2 people for 6-8 months and since Desmond has been alone for 3 years, there should have been5 or 6 times as much food left over (i.e. - at least5 drops with him eating half as much food). Considering that Kelvin was alone when he found Desmond, it is unclear how much food was stockpiled from leftover rations resulting from him being by himself. (i.e. he could have more than 3 or 4 times enough for 2 people and then he died) It's easily possible that the food drop was just the normal 6-8 month drop for 2 people. Also consider that if Desmond didn't know about the drops, he would have been rationing his supply - he wouldn't be eating 3 meals a day. He seemed way to frightened to go outside for that to be suspended to go out and get food.
