Question on Food Nutrition and Cooking

[Briandand]

For the past couple of days ive been having problems with my food and nutrition bars. I get my food to 0% and for some reason i dont fast. And than it seems like when i log on my Nutrition goes to 0% while im logged off. And when i cook basic casserole (Meat) i use pumpkins or whatever to make the meal at least 2kg. And my food barely goes up but after one bite my Nutrition goes up to 70%. Is this normal now withthe new cooking update or is there something i need to fix. Thanks for the help.

Chances are youre starving to death. Meals fill you up based on QL, however, Nutrition for things like Casseroles have a higher base. So, you will likely be getting better nutrition from casseroles, even if the QL is low.

That said, eat somethin man. 0% Food and a refusal to fast means youre skinny as a rail son.

When your nutrition jumps to 70 it's because your guy is fasting. There is only so many times you can fast. That limit has to do with the "fat" layers of the toon and I'm not sure how to measure it.

I think it's important to point out, you can NOT starve to death. No food or water means many actions will be blocked and your action times will be very long. But you never die (assuming no mods).

I think the recent cooking changes where very bad. They overly complicated the system and made it harder to feed yourself, (imo obviously and don't bother trying to argue with me). One good thing here is you can add your own recipes. Salads are a great food that offer superior nutrition and when eaten cold will give you a bonus. Eating just these means you don't need to heat up your food.

In spirit of the greatest meal of all time, pumpkin + fillet of cooked meat, I made this recipe:

EDIT...I forgot I modded my food system to remove things like ccfp, meal complexity, affinites. I turned into a more role play like system where I can make what I want and not be penalized because my food dosen't have tens of engredients and preperation stages. Thus, using this recipes in vinalla WU may not be that great.
