There are a lot of different reasons for this one. It's less societally acceptable for women to be obese than men, so women are more concerned about what they're eating. Women traditionally do the shopping and cooking, so it seems more important for women to know what's going into whatever it is that they're making. Women are also traditionally the ones who are the primary caregivers for children, so they have to be aware of and on the lookout for things that could cause problems in a child with food allergies, or they want to try and feed healthy options to their children. Men seem to trust their bodies while women seem to trust their brains to deal with food choices. I will add, as a sidebar, that most women consider themselves smarter than men, and part of being intelligent is being informed about all the choices you make.

Because women pack on the pounds easier than men. At least that's what women will argue. I think they do it so they can appear to be doing and eating the right things. It's just a front so they can later claim " I don't know why i'm gaining weight. It must just be because women gain weight easier than men. Plus it's that time of the month and i'm bloated". But what they don't read is the back of the bon bon box while they are shoveling those bad boys down. They only read it to impress others. It's all a clever little scheme!

Everyone seems to be concern about weight gain! why doesn't anyone think about diabetes? Dietitian's recommend reading the labels for better eating and awareness! maibe some men cannot be bothered with labels they just buy what looks good not what is good!

Mainly the reason is being is because as and overall population, females are more concerned about their body image the men are and therefore are concerned about what they eat daily in order to have a low body fat.

I am quite fussy in what I buy, but as the ones above mention it's all to do with how you feel about yourself.
I'm a weight lifter and can't be doing with any food that will fight the tide of my training.
If I weren't lifting weights I'd eat all types of crap

Because women do most of the shopping, and are more aware of what they are feeding their family. Most men lean back and trust the women to take care of that aspect of the meals.

Women care about how much sugar or calories that they are eating. Usuually women try to keep the weight they are, or they are on a diet.

Cuz we care about what goes into our bodies. Men don't give a damn as long as they have a full belly. It's also the reason we're more picky about who we sleep with.....LOL

because women seem to obsessed with calories. so what if something has 100 calories in it, doesnt mean you cant eat it. . have half, save the rest for another time.
