I think that it has more to do with metabolic rate rather than gender. I
know a few women who can eat like a horse and stay slim.

In our society it's really hard to be a woman with big appetite so maybe
women are more prone to develop eating disorders.

Maybe you are not eating enough? Maybe not enough protein and you are
loosing muscle mass?
I need to eat a lot to keep my weight.
