Not to mention, Noah killed some of them as a sacrifice to God.

None of them were carnivores in the first place.
If you read the Flood narrative in Hebrew, there is no reason whatsoever to assume that the flood covered the entire planet, or that Noah took representative from every species onboard the ark. The story is about a guy with a boat who managed to survive a flood. The only reason it was included in the Bible is because of its deeper esoteric meanings, which are contained in the diminsions of the ark, the time of year that the events took place, etc.

And how is it that Cain left after killing Abel and moved into a city if he and his brothers plus his parents were the only people on Earth?
Why would God punish 99% of the population that never knew about his existence because they lived in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas?
How did Noah feed any of the animals? Isn't it ridiculous to believe he had 2 of everything, when we are still discovering new species to this day, and what about animals that only live in certain places? Did he make special trips for them?
Why did all of this stuff happen back then, and nothing these days? Would the church just deny any act of God now anyways? How could you prove that there aren't more prophets and spiritual events happening out there now?
There are a lot of questions about the stories in the bible. How much nonsense you believe is your faith. Personally, I think they make for some good stories, but most have no reason to make them believeable.

I think that was probably some of the reason for the seven pairs of each of the clean animals. I think the food intake of all the animals was somewhat restricted on the ark. Noah just didn't have the manpower to feed the animals, keep them from fighting, clean up their messes and take care of the human needs. That's assuming he just let the ark drift aimlessly.

The parable of Noah's ark is best explained in the Arcana Coelestia.

They ate salted meat and fish, although some of it may have been smoked and/or dried. Noah stored enough of it in wooden barrels or clay pots to sustain the animals and his family through the repopulation process. Why do I think this? Because I think if God gave Noah detailed instructions on the construction of the ark, He'd also tell Noah the appropriate quantity of food.

Simple. Before the flood, vegetarian.
Re-read the account given in the Bible.

grains and grasses, since the animals in the ark were not the full grown version but the little ones, a floating nursery.
