Players will need to eat regularly in 7 Days To Die. If they don't, then they will begin to suffer some pretty devastating consequences that can end with the player dying. So, being well-fed is one of the keys to survival. During the early stages, it can be hard to find enough canned goods to stay well-fed. Also, hunting down animals with primitive weapons can be quite tricky. But, as the player goes through the first few days, they will begin to get the hang of keeping on top of their food and drink needs.
