muncher

One who chomps

A muncher is someone who munches—chews steadily or eats enthusiastically.

The word often appears in compounds describing what someone eats: carpet muncher (vulgar slang for a lesbian), rug muncher (same), box muncher (same).

Less crudely, a number cruncher might be called a data muncher.

Children who snack constantly are little munchers.
