It's a Mitzva to say Birkat HaMazon after eating bread and being sated.
Before eating one obviously has to make a blessing; if one has to bless when sated, all the more so when still hungry.
Applies everywhere, always, to men, and maybe also to women.
By Rabbinic decree it's a Mitzva for everybody to say Birkat HaMazon even after eating a Kezayit (olive's worth) of bread.
Pasuk: "and you shall eat, be sated and bless" (Devorim 8:10)
