city food usage

[qmando]

hello, i was wondering what the food usage was for a city of a certain size. the food usage per citizen seems to change whenever i try to figure it out.

Each citizen eats two food sheafs, whether working the terrain or acting as a "specialist". Also, if the city supports Settlers or Engineers, they require one food if your government is Anarchy, Despotism, or Monarchy, and two food if it is anything better than those. Also, if you have a "food trade route" to another city that will subtract one food each turn.
