This trope describes a character who's notorious for ignoring their body's need for nutrition and has to be reminded to eat. They'll go out into the wilderness without food supplies, and will forget dinnertime at home because what they're doing is so much more interesting.

It may also be a temporary effect of Just One More Level. Examples of Forgets to Eat include:
