Hi,
You mean like this, for example?

Tom is a glutton.
Tom eats like a glutton.
I don't like gluttons.

Thank you very much.

Just only use for eating habit or should I use to another way?

Hi,
Literally, it relates to eating food. He is very, very eager for food.

Figuratively, it means he is very, very eager for things other than food. eg He is a glutton for work means that he is very, very eager to get work.

Your dictionary should tell you about these various meanings.

Best wishes, Clive
