No matter how used Desmond's appetite they were, the girls had to take a second to process the number of empty plates already on the table. Desmond might as well have swallowed a whole bear by this point, and he didn't look like he was going to stop anytime soon. Perhaps the only thing that changed now was that he ate more calmly than at the beginning when he seemed like a man on the verge of starvation.
For his part, Desmond was too focused on enjoying the food to pay attention to the way the girls were looking at him. You couldn't blame Desmond for all of this, aside from the fact that his appetite was always large, he had spent too much time stranded in a world where cannibalism was the rule, and had to support himself on blood, which quite frankly was still bizarre.
While Desmond now found blood incredibly delicious, it was also true that he hadn't had a good morsel of food since then, hence why he looked like a hungry beast eating.
