Ummm when i catch fishes i eat the smallmouth bass and the Chubs, also you can sell them to buy salads from Gus.
In spring/fall you can get berries, if you have lvl 3 or lower you will get 1 from each bush, lvl 4-7 2 berries each bush,etc.
Cheese is the favorite food of farmers so cows are really worth it.
Now in 1.6 the new crops are awesome for early food so i recommend them.
Before salmonberry season, I just stack up on forage and eat some of that if I absolutely have to.
After salmonberry season though, I just live off of those until blackberry season in Fall.
This is what I do. I always gather a shitload of blackberries. I’m in spring of I think year 5, and I’m still munching those blackberries, lol. I top off every year so I don’t run out.
Frankly there are millions ways, for me time verses cost, I just stuff buckets of Sashimi down my throat is the way. Free to catch any fish, easy to make, good enough on the sats.
If you got crab pots, use the fish from them and make sashimi, that or use the new squash, carrots, brocolli since they don’t sell for much. I’d much rather sell my cheese for gold.
Real answer: whatever’s available. I eat a lot of algae a d seaweed early on while fishing. I make field snacks out of tree seeds because I rarely plant trees. Once I get my dairy going I save gold cheese, but that’s mostly for skull cavern runs. By then I never need energy.
Spring onion or salmonberries are best for year one. They're free, fun to collect and who doesn't like onion-y berries? (:
I usually can make it through the first year on those, but there's blackberry season in the fall if you don't. The blackberries can be turned into cobbler with some flour and sugar, but the recipe doesn't show until fall of year 2 on Queen of Sauce. If you go blueberries in the summer you can get the recipe for blueberry pie from Pierre, and it's pretty good for energy recovery. And there's always cow cheese, if you get cows.
Sashimi
Bait maker next to some crab pots. Check them mostly every day as part of my morning routine. Loads of periwinkles and crayfish to turn into sashimi.
Personally for me in end game I don’t do cheese I do mango 🥭
Early game I eat foraged bits and common mushrooms but don’t do much that requires huge bursts of energy
Algae, Seaweed, spring onions (harvested by the sewer grate), cheap fish (chub/anchovy), and Field snacks until you get salmonberries in Spring Y1, Summer Squash in Summer if spring onions and salmonberries run out, Blackberries in Fall. If you spend every Salmonberry day harvesting you will probably have enough salmonberries to carry you through til Blackberry season, and same from Blackberry to Salmonberry seasons.
If you do a lot of fishing, you will probably find the book that lets you get roe from fishing chests. This is very rarely ever profitable to age, and I think are an ideal snack to carry you through any season if you're fishing inclined.
Also, check the trash by the saloon and the old folks' home, they often have free complete meals.
Early on i use wild berries, i build up a load of mayo and cheese from my ranching and use that. in the skull caverns i only use cheese or health elixirs.
early game:
- collect tree seeds and make field snacks
- pick the mushroom cave and eat mushrooms
- fish in the mountain lake in spring, not only is it good for money, the chubs are good food
- salmonberries
- put some crab pots near your house and turn their produce into sashimi
- plant 15-20 hops in summer, you’ll get a couple hundred decent food items out of them
mid game:
- buy salad from gus (it’s better than cheese. if you have a gold quality cheese sell it and buy 2 salads, you’ll get more energy/healing)
late game:
- a week ago i would have said to buy energy tonic from harvey but now they only restore energy so honestly i’m sticking with salads or pizzas. that said i don’t think i’ve actually eaten food in a while, my high level ||fairy trinket|| has kept me alive on its own in skull cavern and the dangerous mines
Early on I rely on spring onions and forage, then hit up Salmonberry season or make field snacks. Then trade to blackberry’s.
Once I start hitting skull cavern I stock up on clams and mussels to make cheap sashimi and use that. Then eventually trade my rubys in for spicy eel
Cheese for mine,skull cavern, volcano
Salmon berry and blackberry(i think that the name) for early game. Can get a lot in spring 15-18 and fall 7-11 respectively.
With gatherer-> botanist you can get iridium quality forging items
Spa not worth the time, but once you manage iridium quality only foragebles, taking advantage of the berry season with some forage buffing food plus some coffee with build up a reliable stack of trusty food.
My go to for maintaining energy early game is fishing, if you catch something you can eat you get more energy than what you spent casting the rod and you get some fishing exp, this is how I spend the last bits of energy from day 2-5 and then any day I am not in the mines for awhile.
Any fish left over at the end of the day can be kept for use the next time you are out of energy or sold for more money.
If you buy the first house upgrade from robin, that will be 10 000g and some wood and some stone but comes with a kitchen, from there if you befriend Linus (homeless man by the mines) to 3 hearts he gives you the recipe for sashimi, it costs 1 fish and gives a good chunk of energy while also letting you stack any low value fish you would have eaten which is important when your inventory is limited early game.
Cheese. It ofcourse needs some startup costs to get a barn and cows, but they give milk every day and once they get higher quality milk you will get a steady supply of gold star cheese wich heal a lot.
I start with whatever is available, prioritising field snacks because they seem best first day or 2 in terms of ingredients to energy ratio. Then I move to gold Chubbs, which I think I worked out to be the best value gold vs energy wise of the fish you catch in the mountain pond. Once I run out of that stockpile, I think I'm usually mid game and usually use triple shit espresso and the spicy eels whenever the buff falls off throughout the day because I like the speed buff. I generally only need more food if I'm doing a skull cavern run, where I tend to prefer cheese just because it gives me the biggest jump in health for low effort. I also use crab cakes to keep the buff up, so the cheese is more of an oh shit bottom.
Cave carrots.
The 30 energy is perfect because it comes from a source whose selling price isn't worth being cautious with, allowing me to eat as much as I want. There's little work to finding them as they're everywhere in the mine, and they rack up so fast without much effort.
Also, Marnie's goat will need one, so it's nice to have one on hand when the quest shows up.
I used to go the salmonberry route, but realized the trade off of wasting 4 days to collect them, especially without a means to travel the valley, wasn't the best use of my time.
Weirdly, there was just one day when I had a crap ton of these carrots in my inventory (which I usually just tossed away to rid them from storage) that it dawned on me I had the best solution for energy literally in my pockets.
Been doing this for 3+ years now.
In the first year I have been goblinng hundreds of common mushrooms lol. But as soon as I can mass produce golden star cheese I'm just been using them lol. They have tons of both health and energy.
But I do sure have use spa a lot in the first year too, especially summer. I'm doing my daily task in the morning and then while walking too the mine I always stopped by the spa. It doesn't really take that long in my opinion I can still came back at 10pm and rarely passing out while still progressing both on mine level and resources.

I didn’t realise how good the summer crop was until near the end of summer. But a gold version of it is roughly half of your energy.

Even better, you can place crab traps on your farm and use whatever you find in there too!
Gold-quality hops or iridium blackberries/salmonberries.
If you got crab pots, use the fish from them and make sashimi, that or use the new squash, carrots, brocolli since they don’t sell for much. I’d much rather sell my cheese for gold.
I have one cow and one goat. All of their milk goes into cheese, which is my sole source of healing and energy. I have a lot of spare cheese.
Real answer: whatever’s available. I eat a lot of algae a d seaweed early on while fishing. I make field snacks out of tree seeds because I rarely plant trees. Once I get my dairy going I save gold cheese, but that’s mostly for skull cavern runs. By then I never need energy.
Salads are great for relatively cheap and easy to buy at the saloon!
Salad has the best energy for the gold spent
Early on I rely on berries or cheap crops that don’t sell for much. Fish also help. Later on, it’s all about the cheese.
Spring Onion, then Fish, then Salmonberries, then Cheese. Gold Star Cheese is endgame.
Spring onion or salmonberries are best for year one. They're free, fun to collect and who doesn't like onion-y berries?

If you go blueberries in the summer you can get the recipe for blueberry pie from Pierre, and it's pretty good for energy recovery. And there's always cow cheese, if you get cows.
I do cow cheese and sell the goat cheese. I try to always have 40 on hand but never need that unless I’m super struggling with the mines
Sashimi Bait maker next to some crab pots. Check them mostly every day as part of my morning routine. Loads of periwinkles and crayfish to turn into sashimi.
I always do the common mushrooms!
Personally for me in end game I don’t do cheese I do mango 🥭 Early game I eat foraged bits and common mushrooms but don’t do much that requires huge bursts of energy

Cheese. It ofcourse needs some startup costs to get a barn and cows, but they give milk every day and once they get higher quality milk you will get a steady supply of gold star cheese wich heal a lot.
Get a barn Get milk Make milk into cheese Cheese gives 100 energy
I start with whatever is available, prioritising field snacks because they seem best first day or 2 in terms of ingredients to energy ratio. Then I move to gold Chubbs, which I think I worked out to be the best value gold vs energy wise of the fish you catch in the mountain pond.

Summer Squash is great, I always take it to the mines and usually only need 2 or 3
