That's probably because they're dead and their digestive system doesn't work properly anymore, so whatever they eat just sits in their bowels and rots away along with the rest of their body until they're completely decomposed.
Maybe because most zombie movies are set in the middle of the zombie apocalypse where humans are already far outnumbered by zombies, so the zombies' food supplies are limited. Besides, sometimes you do see fat zombies, like that woman in the Dawn remake.
How is it that they can even swallow or digest "anything" if they are dead and peristalsis has ceased? And, if peristalsis has not been interrupted and stomach acids have not dissolved their stomach tissues, I repeat, why aren't their stomachs bloated (based upon your theory of undigested meat just sitting in their stomach)? Surely there are A LOT of zombies depicted in films who are feasting on LOTS of people. Why isn't a bloated stomach a part of a zombie's ordonnance? This whole discussion totally disregards putrefaction and medical science, but, if you want to continue to argue "zombie science", I'll play along for a short while longer.
I don't really have a scientific answer for it, I've been thinking something about symbiontic maggots but it just sounds stupid. And I wonder why so many people are worried about an undead zombie plague when a 28 Days Later/Rabid/Lifeforce situation is way more plausible.
Which Base Would You Choose During The Zombie Apocalypse?

PS
I'm going to write a bestseller zombie book about why they gorge themselves on human flesh and you never see them taking a crap.

Then why aren't their stomachs distended, Joe?

The question is: Where's the meat/shit?

True.
