Yeah, I definitely had more than enough to eat during BMOQ, just not the time to eat it. On good days though, when you have 20-30 mins to eat, if you're quick enough, you can usually get 2nd and 3rd.
As for personal food, according to regs, you can't have it. However, the reality is quite different. I've seen Gatorade powder, chips, chocolate etc... It depends on your staff and how much they're going to look for it. I remember though, while our staff were generally easy going on that stuff, a girl on my pon decided eating apple sauce during Vimy Week, in front of the instructors, was a good idea. They had us dump all our goodies in the middle of the FOB and then proceeded to gas attack and stand to us for a few hours after the exercise was over.
I'm not going to tell you to bring food or not, simply that it's possible to get away with it. Or you might get caught and eat a lot of shit. What's been said before is also true, big guys tend to shrink, and very thin guys tend to buff. It's a great equalizer.
