After I've eaten, leave me alone for a while
Hunger meters don't really measure hunger, they measure the time until the player starves to death. This is a fine distinction, but an important one. In some games when you fill your food meter to 100%, it almost immediately drops to 99%. In ARK: Survival Evolved, for instance, you can sit there watching the numbers spin down. In real life, when I eat a meal, I don't immediately begin getting hungry again. It shouldn't happen in games, either.
After I eat, my meter should remain at 100% for good period of time. There's nothing like a slowly depleting meter on the screen to distract players and make them feel like they should be doing something to fill it all the way back up again. Once I'm full, let me put it food and drink out of my head for a while to do the other things the game offers.
Thirst should be more important than hunger
I was trying Better Late Than DEAD the other day, another new Early Access survival game. I felt like the thirst and hunger meters weren't too greedy and only required a bottle of water and a couple of snacks a day, which gave me time to do something besides look for my next meal. Thing was, the hunger and thirst bars drained at the same rate. This is a mistake for a couple reasons.
