E.g. 食べていました = I was eating (maybe describing what I was doing when you called me, for example.)
Not specifically their differences but "~ていました" is used like "USED TO do ~ / WAS doING ~" (for a period of time) while "ました" is just "DID"

While "食べました = I ate." shows what I did (for example, yesterday) :)
