They're all kind of the same, except the tones are different chewing is usually for just casually eating food, or "chewing someone out" as in scolding them. Munching tends to be less meal oriented and more of a snack, like "I'm going to munch on some popcorn". And devouring is a more aggressive form of chewing, it usually appears when someone is eating very fast.
