10% LAW:-
According to this law, during the transfer of energy from organic food from one trophic level to the next, only about ten percent of the energy from organic matter is stored as flesh. The remaining is lost during transfer, broken down in respiration, or lost to incomplete digestion by higher trophic level.
Here in this case we will use 10% law of energy transfer
Carrots-1000J
Rabbit-100J
Snake-10J
Eagle - 1J
Therefore there will be 1J of energy in Eagles food
