(my personal headcannon relating to love is that it serves as a power source, the more love a changeling feeds on, the more powerful their magic gets. this is how chrysalis was able to overpower celestia. they eat food just like any other living being, it could serve as a food source if nothing else is available, but its probably not a changelings main food source.)

With Papi and her hive love is the primary food source as it’s renewable and plentiful. Various changelings have their own preferred foods, some of which aren’t even food to most, and all changelings can eat food (and must to maintain disguises when necessary) and generally enjoy it.
Love has myriad uses outside of feeding a changeling, such as amplifying their magic, delaying aging and healing minor wounds.
