If you’re lost in the woods with nothing, you don’t start to look for food.
You can live without food for 3 weeks, and if you happen to eat something wrong, you can get violently ill or poisoned.
Here’s what you do:
First you try to call for help, or wait for help, if you know someone is looking for you.
If not, you start to walk downhill (even if it’s just a barely noticeable slope).
At some point you’ll find water (a creek, river, whatever), or at least a dry river bed.
Then you follow that downstream until you’re literally out of the woods.
That way you aren’t in danger of walking in circles, and rivers generally lead you to settlements.
There’s hardly any spot on earth left where you won’t reach the nearest settlement within a week (i.e. before you die from hunger) that way.
Generally, if this method doesn’t lead you to another human within a day, you’re already in really deep shit.
So by that point it’s walk or die. The hunger will subside after a day and your reptile brain will release loads of dopamine and adrenaline to keep you going.
You won’t find anything in the woods that’s quick to acquire without tools, nourishing, and easy to identify as safe to eat. Except maybe berries (if you know them).

Careful, it could be a bear posting this to mislead you.
only if there’s a gay bar around
Is that better or worse than a man? /S
And I should trust a self declared FrogPrincess?
I intrinsically trust monarchs so she has my vote.
I’m not sure whether you will be able to consistently walk for the whole week if you don’t eat anything
