About this converter
Food in Starfield restores a flat amount of health per item, and the spread runs from 1 to 16 in this set. Raw produce sits at the bottom. Carrot and lettuce each restore 1. Cheese and Alien Tea each restore 2. Alien Jerky and Bitten Sandwich each restore 3. Packaged staples cluster at 4, including Meal Pack Eggs, Chunks Apple and Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Cooked dishes jump higher. Fried Pickles and Latkes restore 8. Alien Kebab and Patty Melt restore 12. The bulk UC Battlemeal Multipack tops the set at 16. That makes one multipack equal four Meal Pack Eggs or sixteen carrots. Values are base effects before the Nutrition skill, which raises food effectiveness as it ranks up.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first food, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total HP. Try UC Battlemeal Multipack at 16 against Carrot at 1 for the widest gap, then Latkes at 8 against Meal Pack Eggs at 4. Only restored health is used here.
Rows pin base Restores Health figures from the Fextralife Starfield Wiki food comparison table, cross checked against the Starfield Wiki Meal Pack Eggs page and the starfieldcheats aid database for jerky and kebab values. Buffs such as O2, damage resistance and carry capacity sit outside the math, and row notes name the main buff where one exists. Drinks, chems and med packs stay out to keep the list food only. Some crafted alien recipes (sandwich, scramble, pie, stew) show different heals between guides, so they stay out until a single pinned figure can be confirmed.
FAQ
Which food heals the most here?
UC Battlemeal Multipack at 16 HP. Patty Melt and Alien Kebab follow at 12 each.
Are O2 and resistance buffs included?
No. Rows compare flat heals only. Buffs such as O2 or resistance are named in row notes but never added to the HP math.
Does the Nutrition skill change these numbers?
Yes, it raises food effectiveness as it ranks up. Rows pin base values before that bonus.
Why is Alien Pie missing?
Guides disagree on its heal (16 against 20), so it stays out until one figure can be pinned. The same rule excludes Alien Sandwich, Scramble and Stew.
