Game mode: Singleplayer
Problem: Bug
Eating food causes an initial health loss, maybe poorly cooked or seasoned but a bit drastic anyway.
Steps on how to reproduce issue:
- Eat something
- Cry as your health goes down a bit
- Health starts regenerating

Its actually eating gives you a buff, so your max health increases and muat be regenerated.

That would make sense, but not getting any buff. Maybe Im missing something.
I’ve noticed the same on PS4, I haven’t checked to see if you actually lose hp or if the health bar just lowers. Maybe I’ll give it a look next time I’m playing.
You are getting a buff, it just doesn’t show a buff icon.
When your food is at 100, you get a 5% bonus to max health. Check your max health next time before you eat.
It’s the same with stamina and water. 100 water gives a 5% bonus to stamina until it drops to 99.
It merely ‘looks’ like your health is dropping as the bar is a percentage. If you gain more max health, your current health is a lower percentage of the total.

Wow, there are so many threads on this. I guess I’ll go answer more of them!

The easy thing would be to put the buff under status, just to avoid confusion. Can anything remove it? Because its happened during some fights. Not much of a buff if it lasts a few secs.
It’s based on current food level, so it lasts more than a few seconds. You lose the bonus when your food drops below 100. There’s no downside to having this buff as it doesn’t lower your current HP.
But it’s only 5% so it’s not much of a buff anyway, it’s just a ‘nice to have’ I suppose.
I use food as my main source of healing so I pretty much always have 100 food in combat.
Edit::
I just timed it. Being outside with 0 Survival, my food remained at 100 for exactly 5 minutes before dropping to 99. Food and water both drop more more quickly when below 100.
