If you’re sufficiently geared that you’re not taking a ton of damage from fights you can starve down to ~1/2 or 1/3hp pretty safely. I do this fairly regularly. One thing that helps make this less risky is carrying darts. I always make sure I have blind and/or paralytic darts ready in case I get caught out without cover when a warlock or shaman comes through a doorway.
Honeyed healing converts one HP pot into a full HP bar worth of starvation time that can be ended at will, I make as many as I can.
Save wells of health until you’re starving and cycle through as many unid’d items as you can before stepping in them. I try to uncurse at least 2 if not 3 or 4 items as well as clearing starvation when I use one.
Potions of purity can be upgraded to potions of cleansing at the alchemy pot. Cleansing has the same “clear all debuffs, including starvation” effect as a well of healing.
Save pastys and cooked blandfruit for when you’re fully starving, they clear 450 hunger points as opposed to the 300 from a normal ration. The hunger counter maxes out at 450 so eating one of these when you’re not starving wastes satiety points.
A couple of things that helped me:
