During WW2 P.O.W.s in the Japanese Camps received 600 calories to 800 calories per day. How did ANYONE survive?

This is probably a better question for r/dietetics as they can talk you through the actual calorific intake/output required to survive

(My SO is a dietitian so if you'd like I'll ask them if they were willing to reply here if the mods are ok with it)
