Calories are stat and game mechanic that was fully implemented in v0.71. It has replaced the point system and it is designed to regulate weight and strength. As of v1.0, it is only used in Hard Survival Mode.

Gameplay[]

On the release of v0.71, the developers did an almost total re-work of the strength and stats system. Calories are now displayed in the inventory for each food item when you hover over them, and gaining strength, or weight or improving athleticism should seem more natural. Previously you could become overweight and it would take many in game days of barely eating to get back to a reasonable weight.
