You should really read this. Duolingo Regular Verbs
Similar to ~으로, ~에/에서 can have another meaning when not used with a verb of motion.
Both ~에/에서 in this case mean in or at.
~에서 where an action takes place
~에 where something static is happening
So in this particular case,
저는 화장실에서 그것을 먹습니다.
화장실 – bathroom
에서 – in, at
에서 – from (with a verb of motion)
Eating is an action, not something static and isn't a verb of motion so 에서 must be used. And it means in, not from.
화장실에서 – in the bathroom.

Whatever you want to emphasize most, you can put first in the sentence. Someone can correct me if I'm erong, but as long as the verb is last, you are good. That's the way I learned it.
