I want to eat vs I am going to eat

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'I want to eat' expresses a desire or craving for food, while 'I am going to eat' indicates a future plan or intention to have a meal. The choice between the two depends on whether you are talking about a current desire or a future action.
