Carbohydrate meals
The cleanest HP line and the cheapest way to buy survivability. It also makes the Whimsical condition harder to hold, since it pushes the defensive half of the ledger.

How to use the Carbohydrate line
Carbohydrate feeds HP. Because a run only sees three meals a week, the practical question is not “is this meal good” but “does this category match the build I am committing to”. A Carbohydrate week when your skills scale off the same stat is compounding; the same meal in a run built the other way is simply an expensive week.
The second-tier meals in this line are usually worth watching. Two-star meals in DRAPLINE routinely scale their bonus off how low the fed stat is, which means the efficient moment to buy one is exactly when the stat is lagging — the opposite of the instinct to buy your strongest stat bigger.
