Diet & Nutrition
Understand the four nutrition groups and how PotA values raw foods, cooked foods and prepared meals.
A reason to eat a varied diet
PotA’s Diet integration gives foods nutritional contributions across four categories: carbohydrates, proteins, fats and micronutrients. Different ingredients supply different combinations, making a varied meal plan more useful than relying on one item indefinitely.
Examples from the current food data
These values are the nutrition contributions defined for the listed vanilla foods in PotA’s supplied Diet data. They are not hunger points or percentages.
| Food | Carbohydrates | Proteins | Fats | Micronutrients |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple | 0.018 | 0 | 0 | 0.025 |
| Carrot | 0.008 | 0.002 | 0 | 0.035 |
| Beef | 0 | 0.07 | 0.035 | 0.006 |
| Cooked Beef | 0 | 0.07 | 0.035 | 0.006 |
| Chicken | 0 | 0.055 | 0.012 | 0.005 |
| Cooked Chicken | 0 | 0.055 | 0.012 | 0.005 |
| Cod | 0 | 0.045 | 0.0045 | 0.006 |
| Cooked Cod | 0 | 0.045 | 0.0045 | 0.006 |
| Milk Bucket | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
Raw and cooked ingredients
For the examples above, the raw and cooked meat or fish entries have identical nutritional contributions. Cooking may still change other food properties and can be part of preparation or recipes; the nutrition values themselves need not increase.
What about milk?
PotA assigns zero direct nutrition to milk buckets. This prevents repeatedly collecting and drinking a renewable item from becoming a source of free Diet progression.
Cooking and crafted meals
PotA includes a wide range of food integrations. Prepared meals may have distinct, ingredient-driven nutritional profiles. Use the recipe browser in game or the Recipe Reference for selected verified examples.
