I believe the answer is:

fed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'supplied' is the definition.
(feeding is a kind of supplying)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for fed that I've seen before include "Nourished" , "supplied with power?" , "Provided food for" , "Dished up food" , "Provided courses" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
