Remembered during the Amidah that 72 minutes have passed since his meal

Question

Praying the Amidah and remembered that soon seventy-two minutes will pass, and he ate a small amount of bread [because if he ate a lot, he can eat even after seventy-two minutes as long as he is not hungry]. Should he eat something additional during the prayer to continue the meal?

Answer

Engaged in a mitzvah is exempt from another mitzvah and should not interrupt.
