Galactus admitted his major disadvantage to Phoenix in their conflict which you're referring to:
"I hover near to death, exhausted in our struggle, while you are neither weary, nor hungry, because you tap into a source of near limitless potential"
Here Galactus' limitations are highlighted again by Maelstrom who at the time was an avatar for Oblivion:
Galactus is limited by his need for outside sustenance. He eats, his reserves are depleted, then he must eat again.
