It'd be nice to know immediately when whatever food buff you're running just expired after a fight so you aren't surprised jumping into the next and seeing you no longer have it.

Perhaps something akin to the messages printed for stamina expenditure after a fight ends?

For example:

The battle has ended.
Hunger is now at 4 battles remaining.

Hour ticks depleting it might make it a bit less reliable by itself, but it'll be handy to know when you're in a party and fights happen in rapid succession.

Stomach growling auto-emote can also work just fine. Like how sneezing works.

Then make a trait named 'Subtle Hungry', which conceals that to just yourself.

I'd prefer a single message at 5 battles left and 0, to not flood the chat that much more.

5 could be something like, *You start to feel hungry.*
0, *You're starving.*
