Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes.. i like to make sure im performing at best as I can and food is a major thing at times to push yourself to that next level. Just wondering what kind of food does everyone use for thier jobs be it HQ or not just looking for some general help. Please put why you use said food. Thanks :)

Use that to determine what's best for you based on what stats you have and want.
Only the first 2 sections of that guide are relevant. Everything else is 1.0 information and therefore very out-of-date.
For WHM I usually use Pineapple Juice or Pineapple Ponzecake, BRD I use Apkallu Omelletes, MNK I use Black Truffle Risotto, and PLD I use Finger Sandwiches... all HQ since I am a well-geared cook.
It's difficult to cap these higher tier foods but in most cases they now seem to give the same %'s as the next-highest tier food but with a higher cap and higher VIT so they are worth using for that slight edge. Not to mention almost all of them are a lot less of a pain in the ass to gather the materials for than their lower tier variants. I vastly prefer gathering clusters and 4-5 materials to gathering shards and 7-8 materials.

While it doesn't have a complete list of food (at the time of this writing it doesn't have the calculations for the 2.2 food in yet), it will help you figure out how much of any given food is working for you (meaning, how close you are to hitting the stat maximum). This is important to note, because you don't want wasted food stats.
