Skyrim:Hunger

Hunger is an attribute added in Survival Mode. Over time, you will become hungry, which will impact your total stamina, as well as your ability to wield most weapons. As you become hungrier, your total available stamina will decrease, represented by a dark region inside the stamina bar, and there is a chance you will become weakened. Eat food to restore your Hunger. If you eat enough, you will receive the Well Fed bonus. Cooked food restores more hunger than uncooked food. If you eat raw meat, you may contract Food Poisoning, which can prevent you from receiving health benefits from food until the effect wears off. Hot soups can now be cooked by using fire salts, which restore your cold and also grant a bonus to your warmth rating.

Orcs become hungry 15% slower. Khajiit may eat raw meat as they do not get Food Poisoning; the same goes for Argonians.
