What's the difference between these two sentences? What's the difference between saying "먹을 수 있다?" And "먹어도 돼요?" I can't figure out the difference.

The difference between the two of them is that -(ㄹ) 수 있다 is talking about your ability to do something; whereas, -도 되다 is used when you are asking to do something. Think about -(ㄹ) 수 있다 as CAN, while -도 되다 as MAY.
