I hope you are aware that we are told in Scripture to eat first BEFORE we partake of the remembrance of the Lord's Supper so that we aren't famished. I rejoice that the Lord rescued me from the "discipline" of the traditions of men that nullified the commandments of God.

1 Corinthians 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

We are not told to obstain from eating prior. Just the opposite in fact. It's just another example of how the Catholic Church has corrupted the meaning of scripture.
