Another possibility to say "do you feel like"+infinitive is "ist dir nach/danach" + infinitive: "Ist Dir danach, etwas zu essen?"
Do you feel like something to eat? Perfectly clear English. I accept the possibility that it simply is not used this way. But a fuller explanation can be found here, https://yourdailygerman.com/fuehlen-sich-fuehlen-anfuehlen-difference/ . According to this discussion «Fühlt ihr euch nach etwas zu essen» should work, although less common than the Duolingo solution.

Indeed, but that would be interpreted as "Do you feel as if you would like something to eat?" rather than "Do you feel as if you are something to eat?", while the German sentence can only mean the second of those.

That's true, on both counts (correct, but less common).
