A can of oats is literally hunger for a whole day.
i might have to clarify i have more than enough food its just im obese. whats absolutely retarded is i have fish with 1000kcal and only minus 10 hunger wtf? he gets fat and he still hungry that system is dumb. one should be able to not eat and lose weight to stay in balance
you know people can weight 100kg without being obese?

Dying quickly of hunger in Zomboid is unrealistic, silly and immersion breaking. In Unreal World lack of nutrition will make you weaker and kill you after a long time, hunger is just an indicator that the character wants nutrition and increases fast when nutrition is low. Dinosystem also has a pretty detailed nutrition system that tracks the character's muscle and fat.

Calories and the feeling of being full or two entirely different things. I'd recommend actually reading up on how nutrition actually works.

people can fast for weeks, months
in this game you start getting "hurt" after a day, or two of not eating
make a ramadan mod then or smth...

I'm inclined to agree that the "underweight" death is too much. Should just give you severe penalties until you can put the weight back with a cap on the minimum weight at some point so you don't end up weighing 0 kilos. I mean... generally you end up in this situation when all you have are vegetables and in real life, if all you ate was lettuce, sure that wouldn't be good, but how long would it really take to die from that? I'm no expert but I bet it would be a long time. You'd be weak and sick, but alive.

Go outside, sneak around, break into houses, grab as much stuff as you can carry, chop down trees, do some gardening, fight zombies, build or disassemble furniture for hours at a time...Then don't eat for 10 hours and see how you feel.

Are you really suggesting that fat people can't starve to death? You do know that when starving, you don't necessarily lose weight and then starve right?

Well from what I've been able to find you would last anywhere between 3-8 weeks on a diet of only lettuce so not really much longer than just starving to death, but you would likely have low energy levels well before that making any kind of movement or work hard if not impossible.

So turn it off in the settings. You can change just about anything.

Wait WHAT???? I thought that the body breaks down the fat first and then the heart and muscles which kills people

That comment by Death made me laugh really hard, It seems in some countries the schools don't even teach basic biology...
