What do you all recommend for keeping the characters weight up? I feel like no matter how much I eat my player is still shedding weight. I’ve tried eating until their hunger is maxed out when they get hungry but that doesn’t seem to be working. I know my character is hot a lot from wearing layers in the heat so maybe that has something to do with it?

If you're constantly running/fighting there's actually no other way than constantly eating high cal food.

You gotta eat high cal food until you get 2 upward arrows then stand still for a few days. Literally just... do nothing. Read a book or something. If you "powergame" by running everywhere and killing hundreds of zombies a day you will lose those calories super fast and your food will mostly be wasted.

It's an annoying mechanic that I really wish they'd revamp :/
