Balnced Diet perk ruined by cutscenes.

So idk if anyone else experiences this, cant seem to find anything about it online. Some cutscenes seem to increase your nourishment levels, as if henry has had a meal during the time elapsed or whatever.

Problem is, because I have the Balanced diet perk, I always try to stay between 85-100 nourishment. After certain cutscenes I end up on like 120+ nourishment, ruining my 5 day streak and losing all my stat bonuses. There seems to be ZERO pattern as to what cutscenes trigger nourishment increase.

Super annoying because it means going another 5 in game days eating perfectly to regain, only to trigger another cutscene and pray I dont lose my bonuses again. I love this game. But fuck that for a game mechanic. Reward players for engaging with a system efficiently and planning around it, then arbitrarily punish them because... idk, why not i guess. Dumb.

Rant over. Sorry just had to get that out of my system.
