Well, it is a Wikipedia article so anyone can edit it. But if you didn't read the first paragraph, I can't help you any better. I'm no teacher. The point is, metagaming is when you apply external rules from outside of the game into the game, not opting to use certain type of food in certain types of situation based on your own experience or someone's tips. Nobody is forcing you to use health food, or stamina food, or magic food, unless you let them. A game mechanic being based on an attribute and making use of it in a situation is not "metagaming".

Why did you send me the article if you know its an unreliable source?

And secondly, the first bit of the article only covers one part of how it can be defined, then is broken down further into its usage in other mediums, which the quote I pulled came from the "Computer Games" section.

That's the part which has been tagged "citation needed", which is the unreliable part. As I said, I'm not a teacher, you are responsible for your own education as well as not arguing with terms which are not familiar to you.
