Makes food seem pretty boring. I eat to enjoy. I’m not worried about “fuel,” it seems to work pretty well for that without my having to think about it. I’m pretty active, so it’s not much of a concern. But, I understand I’m fortunate that I don’t struggle with food/weight.
I also enjoy food and don’t struggle with weight (well, I struggle with gaining it still at 31). I still have learned I don’t need to over-eat. Anything extra is just going to waste. I eat fairly slowly and enjoy it, instead of eating like I’m in a competition. I eat until I feel done eating and don’t usually go further. You can enjoy eating without over-eating. Honestly, it’s probably easier.
I hear you! Still, I do find focusing on a quality meal over a quantity meal is a good thing, which I think in a different way you were also saying. Different qualities, same idea, generally good result. 😊
I live in one of those areas where the 40-60 set seems to be healthier and more focused on health than most people around my age, so I don’t think it needs to be age thing! You’ve got this!

I miss those days.
