How to unlock the Balanced Meal achievement in Back 4 Blood - Definitive Guide

Do not worry about finding 5 different food buffs in a single level until you get the Corruption Card: Ravenous at the beginning of a level. Ravenous forces a hunger status on the Cleaners and every 15 seconds you either take or heal 1 Trauma. To make this fair, food items are placed EVERYWHERE. It would be more impressive to finish a level and not get this achievement, somehow.

Seriously, don't worry about it if Ravenous isn't on. For me, I went a couple levels triple-checking everything and got 4 food items at most. The third level had Ravenous on, and I picked up:

39x Green Beans
34x Cereal
40x Peaches
37x Peanut Butter
43x Power/Protein Bars

You can't miss it with Ravenous on.

Ravenous can appear as early as the 1st mission on Act 5. I haven't tested it on non-DLC missions.

No one has mentioned this yet, but having the Food Scavenger card (which increases food spawns) makes this way easier. I didn't get the Ravenous corruption card to appear once during the time I played through the DLC. Just equip Food Scavenger and you should get 5 different foods easily.

Took me a while to get that corruption card but once it did, it was easy!

I just got this "legitimately" (as in 5 spawns without ravenous modifier) on the final chapter of my No Hope run for Act 5

Difficulty doesn't seem to affect spawn rate, so I'd recommend Recruit when going for this achievement.

Just got this solo veteran on act 1 the crossing and I don’t even own the DLC. I think I ended the level with 7 food buffs.
