So actually, they didn't change the max food and water you can have in your body. It's just that before 1.10, it took a smaller portion of food and water to get a max icon. You actually could keep eating and drinking past that and it'd still store it in your body. For example, before 1.10, even if your apple icon was max white, you could eat like 2 pieces of fat afterwards and store all of that food in your body, and it would lengthen the time you can go before needing to eat again.

It actually takes over twice as much energy to get a max apple icon, so this is likely not a glitch.

It's gotten pretty bad in the last few weeks. A method for crashing server must have gone viral somewhere or something.
