Nutrition

Nutrition is a game mechanic in Project Zomboid redesigned and implemented in build 34. Each item of food has a quality known as nutritional value which is separated into four classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and calories. Each of these classes contributes to changing the player in various ways, such as weight, strength, experience gain, endurance, etc.

Nutritionist

Nutritionist: Can see the nutritional values of any food. Nutritionist is a trait available during character creation, costing 4 trait points, or can be picked up for free when choosing the Fitness Instructor occupation. The nutritionist trait allows the player to see the nutritional values of any food, which can normally only be seen on packaged food.

Nutritional value defines how healthy a particular food is and the effects they'll have on the player.
