Starving in 3008 with an Employee on your tail? Every food in the store gives something different. Some fill your hunger, some fill your energy, and a few take health away.
This page lists all 22 foods you can find, exactly what each one gives and which room it spawns in. It also shows which room is worth building next to. Everything was checked on September 26, 2026.
Quick answer. Meatballs fill the most hunger (+30). The 2 Litre Dr. Bub gives the most energy (+23) but costs 5 health. Medkits heal the most (+30). Never eat Glass Shards (-33 health). The best place to find food is the Cafeteria, which holds more food than every other food room put together.

Heads up: a lot of food lists online still use numbers from 2020, before hunger had its own bar. If a list says an Apple gives 25 energy, it is out of date. Today an Apple gives 6 energy, 12 hunger and 5 health.
Best food for hunger, energy and health
- Hunger: Meatballs (+30), then Burgers (+20). Hotdogs, Fish Crackers and Beans all tie at +18.
- Energy: 2 Litre Dr. Bub (+23), then Chocolate (+18). Soda and Dr. Bub both give +17.
- Health: Medkits (+30). Apples and Bananas give +5 on top of their food.
- Best all round: Meatballs, then Chocolate, then Cinnamon Rolls.
Why energy matters more than you think
Energy drains a lot faster than hunger, even when you stand still. When energy hits 0 you can’t sprint, your throws get weak, and your hunger drains faster too. When hunger hits 0, you start losing health.
Some actions cost energy as well. Whistling takes up to 5, and punching an Employee at night takes 4 to 8. So keep a few drinks on you, not just filling food.
Foods that hurt you
Glass Shard: -33 health. It gives nothing else. The Greenhouse has 4 of them, which is 132 health in total, more than a full health bar.
Beans: -10 health. Beans still give +18 hunger, so eat them only when you have health to spare.
2 Litre Dr. Bub: -5 health. It gives the most energy of any drink, so the trade is usually worth it.
Where to find food

Food spawns in certain rooms, and it restocks every in-game Monday and Friday. A normal day lasts about 6 minutes and a night about 5, so that is a restock roughly every 33 to 44 minutes.

One Cafeteria holds 527 to 583 hunger and 395 to 446 energy. Every other food room added together comes to at most 337 hunger and 255 energy. That is why so many players build their base in or next to a Cafeteria.

The Cafeteria has 5 or 6 Bananas and can also have up to 3 Cinnamon Rolls, so its totals are shown as a range. The Checkered Kitchen is the same with its Lemons.
Pizza is the weakest real food, at just +2 energy and +5 hunger. It is also the most common. There are 29 slices across the Cafeteria, Mini Classic Kitchen and Child Bedroom.
Rare and special food
- Chocolate only spawns in the Floating House, high on top of a special pillar. About half of all servers have one.
- Gingerbread Cookies show up during the holiday event and give +8 energy and +8 hunger.
- Candy Corn shows up in October for Halloween and gives +3 energy, +2 hunger and +1 health.
- Cake was a birthday event food and no longer spawns.
- Jeff and the Burger Car can only be spawned in VIP servers. Don’t eat the Burger Car. It kills you.
- Scrubber Duds sit in the Modern Mini Kitchen sink, but you can’t eat them.
Tips for never running out
- Build near a Cafeteria. It restocks twice a week and feeds a whole group.
- Food can be placed like furniture, so you can store extra in your base. Wardrobes and bathtubs work as storage.
- Eat hunger food when your bar is low, not when it is almost full. Anything over 100 is wasted.
- Save Medkits for nights and Blood Nights, when Employees attack.
