You are allowed to bring food to the test center, which you can put in an assigned locker. You can't bring anything into the actual testing room except your ID, but during your breaks you can go to a lounge area (usually) to eat your food. I think breaks are now 10 minutes? I might be wrong about that...

Take a look at the GMAT Strategy forum--a while back there was some topics raised about eating and breaking during the GMAT. Also, I think there were some resources about this linked from the GMAT Resource Wiki , https://www.beatthegmat.com/wiki/

Best of luck!
