<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Hunger and thirst''', tracked in-game as '''Nutrition''' and '''Hydration''', are survival mechanics in ''[[StarCitizen:Star Citizen]]'' that require the [[StarCitizen:player]] to eat [[StarCitizen:food]] and drink [[StarCitizen:drink|drinks]] to stay healthy.<ref name="ig480">{{Cite game|build=[[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 4.8.0|Alpha 4.8.0]]|accessdate=2026-06-01}}</ref><br />
<br />
Nutrition and Hydration levels are shown on the [[StarCitizen:mobiGlas]] personal status screen and at the bottom-left of the HUD. Both deplete over time and are replenished by consuming food and drink.<br />
<br />
== Consuming food and drink ==<br />
Consumables are equipped from the player's inventory. Equipped food is usually eaten in a single bite, while beverages can be taken in small sips or in one continuous drink until the meter is empty. The player must remove their [[StarCitizen:helmet]] before eating or drinking.<ref name="ig480" /><br />
<br />
When Nutrition and Hydration are already full, consuming an item grants a reduced effect, so it is worth saving consumables until the player is genuinely hungry or thirsty.<ref name="ig480" /><br />
<br />
== Depletion and damage ==<br />
As the levels fall, the player begins to suffer ill effects. If Nutrition or Hydration drops too low the player takes damage and will eventually fall unconscious; a death caused by depleted levels is recorded as "Malnutrition".<ref name="ig480" /><br />
<br />
== Ratings and effects ==<br />
Most food carries a [[StarCitizen:Nutritional Density Rating]] (NDR) and most drink a [[StarCitizen:Hydration Efficacy Index]] (HEI); the higher the score, the more effectively the item restores hunger or thirst. Many items also carry one or more [[StarCitizen::Category:Dietary effects|dietary effects]] that further modify the player's condition.<ref name="journal-nutrition">{{Cite game|build=[[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 4.8.0|Alpha 4.8.0]]|text=In-game journal: "Better Nutrition, Better You", [[StarCitizen:Empire Health Services]]|accessdate=2026-06-01}}</ref><br />
