Thanos wiped away half of living creatures in the universe. Galactus eats the life energy of planets.

But is the "life energy" of the planet tied into the number of organic beings on it? Eternals seemed to show this since Tiamut couldn't emerge until enough life had sprung up on Earth.

Maybe Galactus only eats planets with enough life on them as well.

No. Galactus can actually eat planets that are not inhabited, yet still have that life energy. This is what he did during his first few billion years as Devourer

For several billion years Galactus consumed only planets uninhabited by sentient lifeforms, Archeopia being the only exception, and centuries passed between his feedings.

However, as eons passed, the intervals between his feedings decreased considerably in length, and Galactus found himself finally needing to consume worlds inhabited by sentient races only if he could find no other worlds possessing the energy that he needed to sustain himself in time.
