Answer

If you are planning to eat your lunch two minutes in the future...
"I'm eating lunch two minutes from now"
"from now" needs a reference point. "How far" from now are you eating lunch?
(you're eating in the future)

If you are eating your lunch when you are asked...
"I'm eating lunch right now"  (actively eating when asked - present tense)

If you add your reference point...
1. I will eat lunch 2 minutes from now.
2. I'm eating lunch 2 minutes from now.

Then they are both correct. There are grammar rules that explain the finer points of the differences in the two. I don't remember what they are, something about future tense & present progressive to state the future tense?

For practical usage: they are virtually the same & both are natural.

Answer

I'm about to eat.
