to eat one's way through something

Hello!

Could you help me, please, understand the meaning of one idiomatic expression from the book "To Kill A Mocking Bird"?

This is the sentence (chapter 16):

Everybody's appetite was delicate this morning, except Jem's: he ate his way through three eggs.

What is the meaning of the expression: to eat one's way through?

Thank you!
