eat one's fill
Satisfy one's hunger
To eat one's fill is to eat until satisfied, consuming as much as one wants or needs: After weeks of rationing, the refugees finally ate their fill.
The phrase implies abundance—enough food available that hunger is completely satisfied.
Fill here means the amount required to make one full.
