A difficult problem has been set before a character. Some of their attempts to solve the problem proved ineffective. How do they find the solution to this problem then? By eating, of course. Whether they are eating something they think would help them fix the problem or eating the problem itself, eating is the solution they come to.
A Big Eater might come to this conclusion right away, but there are plenty of other people who also resort to this tactic. In any case, their solution to a problem is either to eat it, or fill up their belly to provide a solution.
Carnivorous Healing Factor is a subtrope, for eating being the solution to the problem of "damage". See also Eating the Enemy, Cast from Calories, Eat the Evidence, Just Eat Gilligan. May also involve Power-Up Food. Compare Heartbreak and Ice Cream and Post-Stress Overeating, where eating is a response to emotional distress.

Ranma ½: 10 years ago Uky� created a special sauce and asked Ranma to take care of her forever if it tastes good when opened. Ranma, not knowing what she meant or even her true gender, agreed but accidentally destroyed the sauce and failed to try to recreate it. In the present day when it's rotten and brought up again, Ranma feeling guilty pretends to like it and becomes nicer to her but Uky� thinks he still remembers her marriage promise. After hilarity ensues between them and Akane, Ranma eventually eats the entire pot, to the girls' horror, becoming very sick in the process.

In Switched, Umine's eating habits have caused her stomach to be much larger than Ayumi's. When Ayumi is trapped in Umine's body, she tries and fails to make new friends, and her newfound loneliness is one of the central conflicts of the story. However, when she participates in a pudding-eating contest, she makes new acquaintances by both eating the most and being friendly. Ayumi-as-Umine solves her immediate problem with her bigger stomach, much to the chagrin of Umine.

In the Superwomen of Eva story "Treacherous Web", Ritsuko Akagi, newly empowered as an incarnation of Spider-Woman finds herself presented with a dilemma in the third chapter: now that she's killed Gendo Ikari... what does she do to stop SEELE from retrieving Adam the First Angel and using it to continue their insane plans? Reasoning that her mutation includes saliva glands that produce a toxin which her studies have shown will be lethal to Angels, she promptly eats Adam. Deconstructed in that a) this is stated to be a move born of desperation and she thinks it's crazy even as she does it, and b) she deeply regrets it afterwards due to suffering terrible gaseous indigestion. She spends the next day visibly queasy and belching constantly, to the point she has to make up a story about getting a minor case of food poisoning from a greasy spoon diner, and even several days later is still suffering the occasional stomachache, to her own incredulity. It also comes back to bite her as it turns out that enough of Adam remains in her system afterwards that the other Angels start trying to track her down instead.

Warframe features Grendel, whose primary abilities are best summed up as "eat enemies and then do horrible things to them." The default power involves inhaling enemies into a Belly Mouth where he can subsequently digest them for health/buffs or fire them back at the enemy.

The Powerpuff Girls (1998): In the episode "You Snooze You Lose", the girls get stuck in a trap outlined by Mojo Jojo and built by them and the Amoeba Boys. When Mojo notices the girls and the Amoebas built his machine for him, he gives the Amoeba the boot and tells the girls how he was the one who designed the machine's entire concept in every detail. Including the chewing gum to hold them in place. Upon being reminded of this, the girls chew their way out of the trap.

One Piece: In the fight against Charlotte Cracker — whose power is to create and shape tough biscuits — Luffy (being a Big Eater) takes his time to eat the biscuits (with Nami helping him damp the biscuit constructs first). After he's eaten enough (for almost 11 hours), he unveils his Super Mode "Gear Fourth: Tankman", where his body turns large and round which greatly increases his durability and used his bulk as extra defense. He then defeats Cracker by bouncing him far away with his body.
