1. The fairness rule
Every food is compared as if it weighed 100 grams of a real stand-in food. Minecraft still uses its own hunger and saturation numbers. Score = game saturation ÷ real calories × 100. That asks: how much Minecraft tank do you buy per kitchen calorie?
2. Which foods overvalue the tank?
