There are bennies to Cooking food if that's what you mean.
It is worth the effort, not just meat but fruit and veggies as well.
Not sure about warming tinned food though. probably not.

On Namalsk and some winter modded maps heated food will boost your core temperature and stop you dying of cold temporarily. Sometimes it's enough to get a heat buff.

Also if you stuff your pockets with cooked food it will keep you warm for a while.

you do not need to heat canned food.
The Calories you will get out of a hot can and a cold can are the same.

However... cooking basically anything else increases the calories ALOT.

have a look at this!
https://dayz.fandom.com/wiki/Food_and_Drink

Click on any food and you can see diffrent calorie and hydrationvalues for the diffrent stages.
raw, cooked, rotten, dryed. It all makes a difference.

but for canned food it doesnt matter at all.

Only difference is when you are playing wintermaps. On wintermaps food will be frozen if you find it.
You have to warm up the cans of food in order to eat them.


If you have any sort of questions regarding DayZ, i highly advise the wiki is just linked you there. Basically any question you might have, you can find the answer there.

or just ask here :D we are bored anyways.
