Friend of mine did something like this for a D&D game, saying he
designed it to represent "Fatigue"

First, we fought Orcs, and he put out a half dozen Oreo cookies as
counters.... the whole thing went on and on, classic dungeon crawl
style, with there being a relation between 'the monster' and 'the
counter'/'food'

Rule was : "You killed it, you eat it."

After an hour, we were experiencing sickness...

2 hours after the game started, when we hit the cavern with the Dragon
in it, he pulls out this huge sheet cake, with a dragon iced on it.

All of us said, "Noooooooo!... "
He asked, "Why can't you fight? You have lots of hit points left, potions, etc?"
"WE CAN'T EAT ANY MORE!"
