When you hold a food item, a little fork-and-knife icon appears next to the hunger bar. This dynamically shows you how much hunger & saturation the food will restore relative to your current needs . If you only need 1 shank of hunger, eating a steak will show you exactly how much overflow you’ll get.

If you have 4 empty hunger shanks and you hold a steak (restores 4 shanks), the entire empty portion turns green. If you hold a cookie (restores 1 shank), only a quarter of the empty bar turns green. This prevents overeating – you won’t waste a porkchop when a berry would suffice.

Defaults are usually fine for 99% of players.

Some community-made "Apple's Skin" files exist on third-party sites, but these are often just repackaged versions of AppleCore or different mods with similar names.
