قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَأْكُلُ المُسْلِمُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ، وَالكَافِرُ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَأْكُلُ المُسْلِمُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ، وَالكَافِرُ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ
رواه البخاري في كتاب الأطعمة
Rasoolullaah Sallallaahu `Alayhi wa Sallam said, "A Muslim eats in one stomach, but a Kaafir eats in seven stomachs." [Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari.]

What this Hadeeth means is that the Kuffaar eat and drink considerably more than the Muslim does. It was the Sunnah of Rasoolullaah Sallallaahu `Alayhi wa Sallam and Sahaabah to eat and drink only enough to satiate their hunger and thirst. They would not eat until they are "full".
