Also, it's worth mentioning that while stamina regen is not tied to food, it IS tied to rest, being cold, and being wet.

Which is just as available for a person who eats low-stamina high-HP foods as it is to someone who eats high-stamina low-HP foods.
My comment is more that the claim that a stamina-focused mobile character should prefer stamina-high foods doesn't seem to really be true if they have no effect on regen rate, since regen rate is what really affects how often you can act, not max cap.
