Your character has a Food meter from 0 to 100 that drains as you spend stamina. Eat to keep it up, eat boost foods for timed bonuses, or cook your own dishes from ingredients.
Hunger
Food goes down 0.02 for every stamina point you spend (1 food per 50 stamina).
At 0 you are Starving: stamina regen x0.5 and training gains x0.5.
Hold a food and click (M1) to eat it.
Fatty foods add body fat, which counts toward the fat cap.

Boost rules
Up to 2 different boost foods run at once. A 3rd is refused and not eaten.
Eating the same food again tops its timer up, to a max of 10 minutes.
Two foods boosting the same thing add together.
Timers only run while you're online and not knocked, carried or gripped.
Boost foods can be eaten even when you're full.
Cooking
At a cooking pot: E adds an ingredient (or takes the dish out), R cooks, T empties it.
The first player to add owns the pot until it's empty.
The ingredients must match a recipe exactly, counts included.
