Anecdotally speaking, the human body was designed to be capable of operating quite well on one solid meal per three days coupled with a light snack when needed. It is capable, under duress, of operating on little to no food for periods of a little over a week before it becomes significantly damaging to one's health, and for much longer periods, sometimes several months, on limited snacking but no "full meals".
It is medically known that a number of actions associated with eating are habitual: things such as the amount and types of food we eat and when are definitely trainable without risk to health (barring malnutrition from mismanaging the types of foods being eaten, but that's more to do with what to eat than the habit of eating). It is possible to train a body into arousal when it gets "the munches" (anecdotal, but I honestly knew someone like that). Adrenaline and stress-related hormones are also known to act as effective appetite inhibitors.
I think is sounds unusual to opt for sex over food because the current culture puts so much weight on eating, but the reality is, within reason, it's not that big of a deal. What it does mean, however, is that in all likelihood the endorphins released during sex are greater and more potent on your system than the endorphins released from eating, causing you to choose sex over food so effortlessly; while the adrenaline from your arousal dampens your hunger signals so that you're able to marginalise it. Ohthe joyous mechanics of sex addiction lol
