According to the Gita, how do I abandon fruits of my karma? Should I donate my whole salary and stay hungry?

A person who is moderate in food, recreation, work, sleep and waking, to such a person Yoga becomes a means to kill sorrow!

You can as well stay hungry without earning! Why waste your time and energy in toiling from dawn to dusk just to earn money, donate all of them and stay hungry?

युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दु:खहा || 6. 17||

Abandoning the fruits of actions means you offer the results of your actions to God. This doesn't mean that you will not receive the fruits of your actions. You certainly will! But when you work, you must perform it as an offering unto God and leave the results in His hands. You don't think about the results of your actions while you are working, and even after you are done with your work!

Is there any need of sweating so much just to stay hungry? And after so much toiling from morning till evening or night, where's the energy left in you to stay hungry even? You will not only be able not to stay hungry, but you will overeat! To stay hungry, your body must in a fit condition.

Thanks for your question and asking me to answer!

If you want to donate your whole salary and stay hungry, why work at all in the first place?

So that way, you cannot abandon the fruits of your action. Now you will be attached to the action of donating all your money and staying hungry!
