The eating we do today is at least on the level of the mon from heaven. The Torah, the second luchos of Yom Kippur was only given to those who ate the mon. The mon itself is the food of the malachei hashares that Moshe ate on har sinai, "lechem abirimb ochal ish", yet it still is considered that he did not eat or drink on the mountain. Thus our eating today on erev Yom kipper and receiving the Torah tomorrow is considered fasting for two days.
