I'm up to date on the manga, and I've been wondering why do the titans eat humans? what is the purpose behind that behavior?

on the titan page of the wikia it says they eat humans to subconsciouslly eat a titan shifter in order to change back to their human body, which would make sense.

my question is, where was that said in the manga? I don't eve remember their behavior being explained.

so where did the wikia take that information from? is it even a fact or is it just an assumption?
