I always imagined this as a future basic genetic modification with a gene trigger: before starvation sets in your cells would manufacture a bunch of chloroplasts and turn your skin green, to give you a chance with water and sunlight to get some more run way on survival. Then if your calorie levels rise the chloroplasts get re-absorbed.
