Food consumption is still 1 bushel for 500 peasants for 1 day.  It did not change.
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

Thats where I am confused...according to stats on Sunday the 8th

Barca
pop = 73307
food = 1556
surplus = +%51.61288437

Pop + %51 = 142032

food x 500 = 778000

Shouldn't Pop + surplus = food x 500? (roughly)

because food if calculated per day would mean Barca could feed 778k people per day at that rate.

If I take food x 500 then divide it by 5 (days of the week) I get about 15000 people fed which seems accurate...if I divided by 7 it was just over 100k so that didn't work

so it looks like the numbers on the region info screen are based on a 5 day week.

Also my holding says I only get about 50 gold a week...which would never match up with the 4k per day economy as we only have 9 regions and mine alone all said and done only gets about 150 a week in taxes. Unless my region is simply abnormal in an extreme way due to its plodding productivity.

avengmil has 10200 pop.. so roughly 20 bushels a day consumed (21 according to marketplace.php).
it has a food rating of 135 and produces (according to marketplace.php) 19 bushels a day
atm.. >100% production

135/7 ~19

so to use your figures

73307/500 -> ~147 bushels per day
1556/7 -> ~222 bushels
222/147 ->1.51

Soldiers (both regular troops and militia) eat food as well, and in fact consume much more than regular peasants.

Nobles subsist on noblesse oblige and divine right, I guess. They never suffer from starvation. ;)

Thanks for the proper math =P I assumed I was figuring something wrong.
