In fact, as it is, one is encouraged to eat a single food at a time- for instance, hundreds of mushrooms or dozens of loaves of bread- in order to level up one specific stat at a time.
Separate bars would alleviate that, and make multi-fep foods valuable.
I agree that having the highest current stat define the leveling bar works fine. It still feels kind of arbitrary, but I can't think of anything better.
EDIT:
Let's keep in mind the current power curve of the game; currently, new players have only intermittent access to FEP foods and little choice in what's available to them, while high-level players have a very unstable positive feedback loop of getting more powerful faster allowing faster power gain. What is the intent is rather the opposite, a negative feedback loop where low-level players can quickly level up while high-level players need more and more relative input to increase in power.
That said, a constant drain on one's power/stats/abilites might be interesting; you remain at a power level relative to the amount of effort you put into the game... I'd support this, but only if this drain didn't significantly effect new players. Perhaps one can slide down to about 80% of your maximum strength?
