Simple Nutrition 5e tracks daily food and water for dnd5e characters and applies the related rest consequences for dehydration and malnutrition.
Features
Daily tracking

- Calculates daily requirements from actor size.
- Shows the current progress directly on the character sheet.
- Uses the current
dnd5edisplay settings for metric weight and volume where applicable.
Actor configuration
- In sheet edit mode, a config button appears next to the nutrition tracker.
- Supports actor-specific overrides for daily food, daily water, and starvation threshold.
- Empty config fields fall back to the module defaults based on actor size.
Consume dialog
- Open food and water consumption directly from the actor sheet.
- Shows the required amount for the day and the currently selected amount.
- Supports consuming from already listed inventory items.
- Supports drag and drop for additional consumables from the same actor inventory.
- Supports
Fresh Water Source Availablefor drinking without consuming carried water.
Rest integration
- Evaluates nutrition on rests that start a new day.
- Applies dehydration automatically when less than half the required water was consumed.
- Tracks consecutive days without food and applies starvation automatically from day 5 onward.
- Adds a short nutrition summary to the resulting rest chat card.
- Creates a separate Constitution save request when the character ate less than half the required food.
Conditions
- Uses the
DehydratedandMalnutritionconditions to represent blocked exhaustion recovery. - Removes those conditions as soon as the character fully satisfies the relevant daily requirement.
- Keeps exhaustion itself unchanged until it is removed through the normal game workflow.
Current Limitations
- Currently, only the modern D&D 5.5 edition is supported.
- Failed malnutrition saves are resolved manually.
- Calendar-based day changes are not implemented yet.
