I believe the answer is:

gourmand

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one who likes to eat a portion' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'of anything our man doesn't' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'GOURMAND' can be found hidden inside 'anything our man doesnt'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gourmand that I've seen before include "Person devoted to eating and drinking" , "Food buff" , "Devotee of eating and drinking to excess" , "Excessive eater and drinker" , "One keen on eating" .)
