Calories in foods

Does anyone remember the thread where someone listed the calories in each meal? I would like to have that again, because I want to try something out. lol Seeing how long it will take a sim to gain weight if they eat only a high caloric diet, and another one, how long it would take to gain if only eating a more healthy and low caloric diet. And then two others eating like the other two sims, yet they both workout as well.
  • Hmmm, that's cool, yet strange. LOL But I have one sim in my Sims 3 game, who is wasting away too. Every time I load the house up, she's gotten smaller.

    Well, I'm going to make my lab rats sims, and keep a chart of the foods each of them eat, and see how the weight gain or loss gos!

    It's probably a Sim diet menu item. You get an empty plate and a fork. :smile:


    You're sim can now eat plates. B)

    What is 'PlateFork?


    It's that bug where sims get their fork stuck to their hand! :D
  • Where can you get chicken noodle soup? I don't think I've ever seen it available...

  • Is there a Calorie Counter for Baked goods and Mixology/Beverages? I see one for the regular cooking and gourmet cooking.

    I never knew this existed. Maybe I should watch what my sims eat O___o lol


    I do what I used to do in Sims2. I simply don't let them eat until their hunger bar is completely full. This has kept one of my Sims rather slim throughout his life. He's an Elder, now.


    Same. I wait until the bar is a deep red before letting them eat. I tend to say more towards the healthier stuff - no cake, lots of fish and chicken - but not really strict, either. If I see a belly bump I just send them to the treadmill a few days in a row. I wish it was that easy IRL!


    I don't even bother with that. My sims get to eat whatever I feel they would enjoy and if I want them to slim down they get shoved the calorie burner icecream down their gullet (before that existed I used modded microwave food). I find it unfair to force my hard working gardeners and woodworkers on a treadmill because they lead a "lazy" lifestyle in the game's opinion. I wish Sims 5 would account for a baseline metabolism and differentiate between desk work, medium and heavy labor!
