POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON HUNGER GUIDE

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon introduces a new game mechanic known as hunger. It is measured by your Belly, which has default values running from 0 to 100. To view your Belly's size while in a dungeon, simply press B to access the menu:

Your Belly will decrease as you make your way through dungeons. If you happen to be moving through special terrain, for instance, through walls, or if you hold both A and B buttons to accelerate HP regeneration, your Belly will deplete faster. Your Belly will also decrease at a quicker rate if you are holding items such as the Heal Ribbon. When your Belly reaches zero, your HP will start to decrease as you move around, whereas it originally regenerates itself. Warnings are given when your Belly size is low. When your Belly is empty, the dialogue box will flash blue/pink and orange to warn you as well. At this stage, you will start losing one hit point for each step you take.

On the other hand, there are items which help to slow down or even stop the decrease in your Belly. The Stamina Band slows the decrease in your Belly, while the Tight Belt prevents the holder's Belly from decreasing.

Feeding

There are a couple of ways to increase your Belly once it is depleted. The most obvious way is through feeding. While the main food items include only the apples, a variety of other items do increase Belly as well. These range from Gummies to Seeds. Below is a list of some items which increase your Belly when consumed. Note that items, once consumed, are removed permanently from the Toolbox, thus, you should be careful when consuming items with secondary uses, such as Oran Berries which have curative properties.

Gummies affect the Belly differently, depending on the Gummi and the Pokemon who eats it.
-If the Pokemon favours the Gummi, you will be told that it seems to like the Gummi. In this case, it will restore 60% of maximum Belly Size.
-If the Pokemon doesn't mind the Gummi, you will be told that it doesn't seem to dislike the Gummi. In this case, it will either restore 30%, 25% or 20% of maximum Belly size.
-If the Pokemon seems to be somewhat satisfied with the Gummi, it will either restore 5% of maximum Belly size, or not restore anything at all.
Here is a list of the Gummies:
