You're worried about missing the food in the close future.
The food you need is going to arrive on first of April.

By then you'll have gone of not having any food for 5 days. (future perfect tense)

I wouldn't say:

By then I will have been going of not having any food for 5 days. (future perfect continuous)

Anyway on the day the food arrives you will be laying in bed thinking about Coca Cola. (future continuous tense) or

The day the food arrives you'll be laying... ( informal, am...)

On that very day next year you will not be runing out of food for sure.
