to eat a meal before going to a restaurant. The theory is that if you pre-eat, you will be less hungry, order less food, and save money. Sometimes, you can't really afford to eat out, but in order to maintain a social life, you have to agree to meet your friends in a restaurant once in a while. Pre-eating allows you to maintain your social life and avoid going broke.

pre-eating 

The process of eating a small meal before you eat in order to work your way into a larger meal. This process is beneficial to prevent an upset stomach when one is extremely hungry, or to ensure that one does not spend too much buying a larger meal in order to satiate hunger. This process is not to be confused with snacking; pre-eating deals more with meals in smaller portions like appetizers or small microwavable meals.
