I found it a bit odd,but While I put it in present perfect continuous (I haven't been having a nything to eat) ,It seems to me correct,so I think your sentence might be right.

It's possible, but it's hard to find a context in which anyone would really want to say it. The -ing form of the expression "have something to eat" is not commonly used in the perfect tenses.
