Probably falls under Black-Hole Belly.
Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
A character's blessed with a metabolism that allows him to be a Big Eater and not gain weight.
Usually a comedy trope that highlights the character as a glutton without worrying about the consequences, making other people jealous of this "power" (especially if we're talking about a woman with an attractive lean figure).
But, also a form of Wish Fulfilment where characters will indulge in junk food because that's cool and modern, but everyone on TV is attractive regardless. "Friends" Rent Control applied to food.
