I prayed Shacharit without Tefillin, and I plan to lay Tefillin when I get home. Is it permissible for me to eat before laying the Tefillin?
Answer
It is forbidden to eat before laying Tefillin, even if you have already prayed Shacharit.

Mishnah Berurah, Siman 70, S"K 20
"And know that if one's involvement in communal needs extends until after midday, when one is exempt from prayer according to all opinions, it is still forbidden to eat before fulfilling the mitzvah of Tefillin, as its time extends throughout the day."
