The human body is a strange thing. It is so complex to keep balanced, and there are so many food-s as well the choices become larger as we speak. So don't keep yourself hungry. Lets talk about it!

Energy; our body Energy also know as Calories is what gives us the daily energy to move and do stuff. A well balanced calorie intake is said to have great effect. Ingesting on beyond limited calories can make you tired.
Worst calorie intake I know in our world: cheese cake factory cakes. Known to have approximately 1200 calories in their cakes. Which are at the recommended\stable amount of a daily calorie intake!
Stamina; Wait... Kitten, aren't these two the same?
Nope! They do relate to one another, but your stamina can shift by training. You yourself have stamina, how much you breath from a workout is stamina, how much time it takes for your muscles to be tired is stamina. Using your stamina effects calorie over time, decreasing it. And if you dont use it calories might stack. Stamina can be trained, and maintained in a good structure with a good nutrition.

I'd agree with most of what you said here.

People should never diet. You should have a good/balanced diet that you tweak here or there to make up for times you decide to 'treat yourself' here and there. Crash dieting is terrible for you, never starve yourself, and always make sure you are getting the macro/micro-nutrients you need.

The best thing a person can do to stay in shape is educate themselves on how their body works. Calculate your maintenance level of calories and understand what you are putting in your body. After that, staying in shape becomes simple math: Calories in < Calories burnt (metabolism and/or exercise) = Weight loss, Calories in > Calories burnt = Weight gain. Its a little bit simplistic but its accurate. Especially for losing weight, which is what most people struggle with. Putting on weight boils down to protein/fat intake and exercise but if you eat less calories than you burn you are guaranteed to lose weight (the law of the conservation of energy).

I could write paragraphs on fitness and nutrition, but instead I'll stop here and see if anyone else wants to add anything, comment or ask a question.
