Why men tend to eat more than women?

Answer 1

Men have on average 50% more muscle mass than women.

Muscle requires significantly more calories to sustain.

Men burn more calories and so require more.

It is a metabolic necessity.

Answer 3

Answer 4

because we dont blow up like women do

Answer 5

We are larger...

Most men have higher metabolics so they need more callories.

Testosterone is responsible for muscle mass differences from women and this hormone accounts for the extra muscle, driving extra protein and calorie requirements for them.

Answer 7

Answer 8

A larger body weight requires more food to sustain that body weight.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Ryde On and Elf are right on.

On an average, More muscle mass = More calorie need = More food.

Nature.

Answer 11

Nothing against women but, I believe that men work twice as hard as women witch intern builds a bigger appetite!!!

I also think a mans metabolism runs faster than a womans!

Answer 12

its human nature. cant argue with that now can you?

Answer 13

Not all men do ,but as a rule if men do hard physical labor they do because they need the energy and it gets burned off, unless they go home and toss down a keg of beer every night. This also applies to women as well.

Answer 14

shame on us for needing more food (and being able to burn it off easier).

The mad inner workings of the Patriarchy and we would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you tenacious little feminists

Answer 15

Um. Because they are bigger and they need more calories every day. Thought that was kinda obvious...?

Answer 16

Higher proportion of muscle mass:fat tissue. We need more calories to sustain our metabolism.

Answer 17

not in all cases,alot of times women eat more than men especially is they're pregnant

Answer 18

Because we can.  And many men earn enough money that women will still date them if they are overweight.

Answer 19

They are bigger.  The bigger you are the more calories you need.  The same reason you give an 8 year old more food than a 2 year old.

Peter is right, men do have larger brains, but brains burn very little calories and the size of men's brains is due to their increased size over all.  In fact one's brain has nothing to do intelligence, Einstein's brain was actually 1/3 less in size than the average human's.

Answer 20

Men usually burn up 4000 kcalories whereas women only burn up about 2000kc.

We need the extra energy because, don't forget, we have to run the Patriarchy.

Answer 21

They need more calories cuz their larger body mass burns more calories.

Answer 22

The way their bodies are designed, they naturally require more calories than women just to keep them working correctly.  Add activity into the mix, and that ups the needed caloric intake considerably.  But it doesn't mean that men need to eat like pigs and women should eat as little as possible.

Answer 23

lol

Because men are taller, have more muscle mass and more strength.

This causes us to waste more calories and require more food

<_<
