I suspect that if you do not something too gamey, such as shutting off engines for a week or something a VIIB is going to run out of fuel before food should be called into question. U-70, a VIIC sunk in 1941 sailed out with 42 days worth of food supply, this could give an idea. Obviously food and fuel could be stretched a bit by rationing. Early in the wari it might be occasionally possible to seize some supplies from captured ships.
