Synonyms of "Eating" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between I just wasn't used to eating them at that time. and I wasn't just used to eating them at that time. ?
A:
The first one means "I wasn't used to eating them at the time. It's as simple as that."
The second one means "It oversimplifies the issue to say that I was used to eating them at the time."
I think the first one makes more sense, but there might be a case where you say the second one.
Example:
"I never used to eat apples when I was younger. Not because I didn't like them. I liked apples just fine. I just wasn't used to eating them at that time. That's all."
"I ate a lot of apples when I was younger. I wasn't just used to eating them at that time. I had to. My doctor told me to eat apples every day."

"it's not polite of her to eat only one or two ramen" means that she is impolite when she eats one or two ramen, or if she had done that

Q:
What is the difference between I started regretting eating sweets late at night. and I started to regret eating sweets late at night. ?
A:
"I started regretting eating sweets late at night." sounds somewhat unnatural. This sounds as if both the "eating sweets" and the "regretting" are habitual (something they did often). For example, the speaker often ate sweets at night, and then developed a toothache which they didn't immediately get treatment for.
"I started to regret eating sweets late at night." sounds more natural. I understand this to mean that, the speaker is talking about a specific time they ate sweets at night and then suffered the consequences soon after. It could also be interpreted as habitual, depending on context.
For example, if the speaker is currently at a dentist appointment, and the dentist said "You have a cavity.", the speaker might say "At that moment, I started to regret eating sweets late at night all the time." In this case, the "eating sweets" is habitual, but the "regret" only occurred in the moment after the dentist mentioned the cavity.
