How long does food / soda last?

[Demonica 311]

So, as a fresh spawn, I find... say... a can of tuna and a soda. I eat / drink all of it. How long will that last me before I am "Extremely hungry / starving"?

 

I looked at Merino's vid's but there doesn't really seem to be a timeline there in general.

 

I know you only lose a fraction of the energy you consume from any food / soda when you are idle / prone / whatever as long as you're not moving.

 

What about a crouching run? How much do you lose sprinting for .. say... 1 kilometer?

 

Are there any in depth analysis of this? I'm going into total survivor mode but that would be essential to know, if I wanna do it right.

 

Thanks guys :-)

How about you test it out by yourself and bring us the results? I doubt anyone has them.

I already tried to do that, but the results are flawed due to zombie attacks. I'm still trying to figure it out. That is why I was asking if anyone actually had a clue, ya know? :D

First of all, it depends on how much you eat.

When running, sprinting, walking- They all consume about 70 energy per minute.

Thus, depending on you eat, it can last you 20 minutes to several hours! :D

Also, it is COUNTER productive to not sprint. Make sense?

This information brought to you by all the medics of DayZ, and their collective research. :)

Mrozu and Guppy: Thanks! That was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Can't wait till Painkillers, Water Tabs and Vitas actually do something now that I have this info.

 

BTW: My hat is off to the TMWD! It takes some serious commitment to be this in depth about a game, and I love every video / answer / experiment you do about it :-)

Nope, sorry to disappoint. My latest style was sporting a cowboy hat, but it got munched on by Zeds, so I had to resort to a banana.

Uhm, I mean Bandana... ^^ *runs around with a banana on head* Wheeee :-)
