I am going to have to agree and concur with the previous answer. 1 John 3:2 states “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see...” Jesus ate with the Disciples after his resurrection and he was in his glorified body doing this act. So based on the scriptures yes we will be able to eat if we desire to do so. To add to this we will not have marital rights or sexual encounters based on Matthew 22:30 reads “For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

Sharing a meal is one celebration that appears to be part of God's relationship with his people, both past and future.

Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the sky itself. But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.
Exodus 24:9-11 NIV

On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare
prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine— the best of meats and the finest of wines.
Isaiah 25:6

When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
Luke 14:15

Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!'” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
Rev 19:9

Food is the fuel for our body. If we don't have a physical body we have no need for physical food!

We will have a body like Jesus. He had a glorified body. Maybe we will have "glorified food." I am certain of one thing - whatever we have in heaven, will be beyond what we might imagine!
