grazer
Meadow munching creature
A grazer is an animal that feeds on grass and other low-growing vegetation—cattle, sheep, and horses are classic grazers.
The term extends to browsing humans: someone who eats small amounts throughout the day rather than full meals, or who samples food while wandering through a kitchen or market.
She's a grazer—never sits down for a proper dinner.
