In most cases, this type of people can eat like a horse. 吃货 was first used to insult people, meaning that they cant do anything other than eat. However, with the popularity of social media and the broadcast of the Chinese documentary A Bite of China, use of the word 吃货 spread. From that point on, the meaning of 吃货 started to change while more and more Chinese started using this word to describe themselves and friends, as a way to show their great love for food. Now, this word is often used as a neutral word bearing a slightly positive connotation.
