I would recommend to use "feel like to do" instead of "feel to do". – Dapeng Gao Mar 02 '14 at 04:56

Infinitives are not usually used after the verb to feel. To express desire, the usual construction is I feel like + gerund, which is to say I feel like eating.
If, however, you prefer to use an infinitive, then change the finite verb: e.g. I want to eat, I wish to eat, I hope to eat are all correct, but never *I feel to eat.
