The well fed buffs that give +all stats causes you to start the battle with less than full health. Is the extra health from bonus Vit and San supposed to apply beforehand or is this intended?

How to replicate: Eat breaded chicken, gain +1 to all stats. Go into battle, start without full HP because of the bonuses.

I've complained about this already in one of those threads about food (if I recall fine, the one that resulted in this new 'food restores HP/FP per hour tick'), and said that the easy way to 'fix' this would be making your food heal you before the fight starts, instead at the end.

Also, eating food blocks one of the conditions to unlock Monk, which is Meditate while having Full HP.

It's not intended at the moment. It could change, but as to whether or not it's a bug, it is not.
