If there is no "no" at the end of the sentence
It means the speaker takes part in the actions that need to be performed.
What are you going to eat?
What are you eating?
If there is no "no" at the end of the sentence
It means the speaker does not participate in the actions that need to be carried out.
and only the listener participates in the actions
For example
He is my boyfriend, and we are at a restaurant.
and we are deciding what to eat
and I want to ask him what we will eat
In this situation, I would say
Hey, hey, what do you want to eat?
In this case, the speaker will also take part in the action.
So I don't need to say "no."
and I can just say What to eat?
and another situation
My boyfriend is at his house and I'm at my house
and my boyfriend called me, and he said
I'm going to have dinner with my friends.
And I want to ask him what he will have for dinner.
I would say
What are you eating?
In this situation, the speaker will not participate in the action.
So I need to use の.
What are you eating?
OK, one more example
Again, he is my boyfriend and I'm at his house.
We are about to watch a movie.
In this situation, I would say
Hey, hey, what are you looking at?
In this case, the speaker will also take part in the action.
So I don't need to use の.
And I can just say, What to look at?
Another situation, he is at his house and I'm at my house
and he called me and he said
I'm going to watch a movie.
Oh, that's good
and I would say
What are you looking at?
In this situation, the speaker will not participate in the action.
So I need to use の.
