Does food count towards 100% collectibles in a level?

[Berghain]

I'm currently in Chapter 3, wich I've done 2 times and I've come up only at 96% completion of collectibles. Pretty much the only thing I ain't picking up is food, because my health is already full. But food does have that 'gold glow' to it. So.. does it count?

[Thumper]

best guess sez no, cause it'a a consumable. it's anything that you put in the clock tower.

Thanks, Thumper. Must have missed some 2-3 little gold pieces then despite thinking I had them all for sure. 3rd time's a charm, lol

I jus got all loot in the nut house. and those zombies in the basement kill you fast.

Neither food, nor poppies, nor picked pockets count. You're just missing something.

Wow, thank you, cruinne! That's an incredibly detailed guide.
After I failed to find all the colletibles myself the first time I did the Chapter I pulled up a video guide on Youtube that stated 100% collectibles. I ended up coming to 98%. Then I used the video frame by frame and came up at 98% again.
In the end it turned out the person who made the video missed out a bag of money on some guard's waist. 4th time was a charm.

Bags of money from guards' waists wouldn't have counted - picking pockets doesn't count toward loot.

BTW, be sure you know loot is not the same as collectibles. A guide can have 100% collectibles (the special treasure items that Garret remarks on and which go in his display cases in the clock tower) but still miss loot (the items available to be stolen in a chapter excluding food, poppies, random arrows, and picked pockets). What you seem to be looking for is 100% loot.
