Absolutely. I always buffer my time to the airport so I can stop off somewhere like a Whole Foods and load up on some food prior to the flight. Salad bar is typically my go-to.
A. It’s less expensive
B. It tastes 100% better

You know that the system is screwed up when you can hold up the Whole Foods salad bar, as being the bargain option!
I’ve found the dine-in restaurant options at EWR to be of reasonable quality, at least pre-pandemic. The food court areas are very hit or miss, even with the price gouging.

I have a bunch of 100 ml bottles (with "0.1 liter" stamped in the bottom). You can fit about 5 or 6 of those in a 1 liter plastic bag.
That is enough to keep you hydrated and getting a drink while traveling.

They will even allow liquids in small containers. I've taken a bag full of nips on plenty of flights.

In London the have abolished the rule on liquids now:
If you need something to eat in an airport, there’s a bunch of snack options you can bring in. It’s not a movie theater. I’ve brought in Nuts, sandwiches, home baked bread wrapped in tinfoil. TSA just doesn’t want you bringing in the liquids. Am I going to get a warm meal with a drink on the side? No. Will I be full? Yes. Will is save $15. Yes. Will it take some planning and prep work? Yes.
