Well fed expires now?
Sorry if I missed some obvious docs on this. I couldn't find them....

I'm a high calorie explorer, not approaching zero ever, but I sometimes get a notification that Well Fed has expired and I lose it for days. What are the details of this mechanic?

If you hit starving for even a moment, Well Fed ends and has to be earned again.

I would mention that, not with Well Fed, I have seen a few anomalies in game play and suggest that if you can get a screen shot of the event especially if it can show what your hunger state was and submit a bug report.

I feel there are times when the game loses track of what is going on, in some small way, that affects things that I see or what happens.

it takes 3 days to get well fed back once you lose it

It does not expire. The only way you lose it is by not eating and letting yourself get hungry.

Well fed goes away only if u let calorie count go to 0, for even 0.1seconds u lose it.

And takes 3 days (72h) to get it back meaning u don't let calories to go 0 in that 72h time period. To keep well fed again eat and don't let calorie count go 0 or u lose it right away.

I think this is correct, or at least I recall that happening to me on my first visit to ZOC when that update first launched.

I learned now that Chemical Poisoning Affliction (can only happen in ZoC with poison barrels stuff) makes you lose 5kg from your carrying capacity, but u still don't lose well-fed bonus in that because extra health from it remains. So well-fed can be lost only if calorie count goes to 0.

Chemical poisoning is not same as toxic non-breathable gas sections in caves (ZoC, Blackrock) in which u die.
