estoy comiendo (progressive form) = I'm in the process of eating
Voy comiendo describes an ongoing event but not something you're necessarily in the act of doing. One way it could be translated is 'I keep eating'. The conjugated verb is ir, so you should think about a process going forward. Comiendo is a gerundio (present participle).

The difference is like as explain us Rusty.
Only I want to set some examples for you can get them better. I am eating it this is a process where the action is ongoing I am going to eat it, still this example will happen yet. Bes regards.

Examples of "voy comiendo", could be when you are in a car, train etc and you are eating...
Or you could say something like "voy por el tercer día comiendo...." instead of "llevo tres días comiendo..." Last edited by chileno; July 04, 2011 at 08:56 PM.

If you use another verb, like "cantar", it would sound better: "Voy cantando mientras camino por el parque". Two actions taking place at the same time. I'm walking through the park and I'm singing. Of course you could say "Estoy cantando mientras camino por el parque" but somehow it doesn't sound as nice. The actions are the same, though.

We use that "voy" as "estoy" which in turn translates to "I am".
