No matter how long he's used to going without food he'll still die of dehydration. Besides usually the tributes don't have time to starve to death because that's not entertaining so the game makers draw them into a slaughter long before that can happen. Only two or three tributes die of hunger or thirst each year.

I personally enjoyed Battle Royale the book and Killing Bites the manga. The first hunger games book was alright,  and they could've stopped there. The following books in the trilogy pissed me off and I don't care enough to watch the movies.
