That's because your max stamina has very little effect on your regen rate, so high stamina is only good for sprinting, or doing relatively short tasks that require stamina. When it gets low, it's almost the same as if you have eaten all health foods.

A discussion of the stamina regen rate really needs to be added to the FAQ. This issue comes up constantly, and most players don't seem to understand it. It doesn't make much sense either, which I think is most of the source of the confusion.

Most players seem to think that eating high-stamina food will give you more stamina, which, in many cases it just doesn't.
