Best way to deal with FEP

[Kram]

Hello, first time poster long time lurker, since the last 2 months of world 3 to be exact. I'll get right down to business and ask, how should I deal with FEP bonuses? I never really cared until world 5 since they play a much larger role with the new system and I was just a loner/farmer. Should I just gather a large sum of food for the FEPs I want to increase and just eat all of it at once and than just work off the over stuff? Or even more so can you die from over stuff? I always just ate when I was hungry and made sure to eat the right food for the right FEP (Along with 1 or 2 things for diversity bonuses) and I can see now that it's probably the wrong method to getting a good amount of FEP. Feel free to share any of your methods.

I just eat whatever until I have options.

Then, for awhile, its all about tables and feasting.

When I get cheese production up then I eat based on what stat I need raised the most.

You can start focusing on specific stats as soon as you get something semi-settled and can pick which fish to catch, what to hunt, and what to farm.

No, you can't die. Variety is a good thing. For every type of feed you eat it reduces the total number of FEPs you need to gain a stat point. Remember, types of food, Not types of FEPs. You can eat 5 different Strength foods and they will reduce the total number of FEPs you need. A good idea is to aim for FEPs that you want and gamble with them a little. So if you want int, like everyone does, then eat 60%+ of your bar into int, then eat other weak FEP giving foods to gain the rest. Note that the 60% FEPs will turn into a larger percentage as other foods reduce your total required bar.

Thanks, I didn't know eating foods with the same FEP gave the bonus too. That will certainly make my life easier when I get my hands on some carrots and eggs!

And of course thank you all for the extra information!

I often eat all the stats I care about except the highest so I don't increase that stat but get a good amount of reduction. Plus by removing the highest it helps with one stat running away (LIKE STRENGTH LIKES TO).
