Has anyone developed a micro-rules system for food & nutrition in Pathfinder? I assume that most players do not enjoy getting down to the nitty-gritty issues of how much food their PC must consume each day to maintain themselves. However, there might be a couple of lonely souls out there who have given it some thought.
What I mean is going beyond a Survival skill check to get along in the wild. It would involve assigning a food value to plants and animals, hopefully reflected in a flavorful table. A character would need to consume a set value each day or suffer progressively difficult starvation penalties. This could be reflected by fatigue/exhaustion or the sickened condition.
The Survival skill sets a DC for "getting along" in the wild, but does not actually describe consequences for failure to 'get along'.
If anyone knows of any links to other resources that could be used to generate some nutrition rules guidelines, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

The consequences for failure are listed under the entries for starvation and thirst in the environment section of the core rules.
But in terms of nutrition rules, that is a level of detail the game doesnt operate well on, and honestly, would eat up ALOT of time at the table for something that is negated by some fairly low level divine spells.
