Is there a verse in the bible that prohibits eating when you are not hungry?
I do not know of such a verse.

However, I do know of verses which say to leave excess food for people trapped in poverty, such as . . .

“When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.” – Leviticus 19:9-10

It appears to me that it is ungodly to consume excess food when one can give that excess food to those who don't have enough food.
