Minecraft Food & Saturation Chart
The hunger bar is only half the story. Behind it sits saturation — a hidden buffer that drains first and decides how long you can sprint before the bar even moves. This table lists every food with both values, sortable, so you can see why a golden carrot outlasts a meal that fills more shanks.

Saturation is the hidden buffer that drains before your hunger bar does — it is what decides how long you can sprint before eating again, so rabbit stew beats a bigger meal with less of it. Hunger only regenerates health while the bar is 18 (9 🍗) or above.
