The human body can only survive 7 days without water but it can go a long time without food depending on how much of a fat store they have.

I think someone can go like a few weeks without food, but only 3 days without water. That seems far-fetched, but there's water in anything you drink, so it isn't just pure water.

An average person who is otherwise fit and heathy can survive only 3 maybe 4 days without fluids and up to 3 weeks without food.
