"Eat to live" is objectively superior to "Live to eat."

If you only consume what you need to keep going, then not only will you be healthier than your hedonic friends, but an open secret is that food will taste better for you. Since not every meal has to be this big succulent feast, you teach your taste buds to appreciate the simple flavors God has given to each kind of food out there. Since you're hungrier more often, eating becomes more enjoyable even if it's just a protein shake and an apple.
