How much should a person eat?
Question
How much should I eat at a time and does eating more effect your taqwa?
Answer
Eating is based on one's need. Hence, if one perceives the need to eat, then one may eat to the extent that one's health will not be affected.
Eating more or less does not affect taqwa.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
