Man Salad Suggestions?

SoLongAndThanksForAllTheFish

I'm not quite 6' and I'd be feeling hunger rage with that lack of food, later maybe laying in bed not able to get up...I really dont think he's eating half of enough...especially if he's exercising I wouldnt expect him to be able to last on that much longer.

OK you want a man salad? I eat this salad and love it, off the top of my head: 2 chicken breasts chopped, 2-4 oz grated parmesan/romano mix, half a can of olives, about a cup of greek yogurt, 4 cups of kale, pepper, sesame oil. Cut/tear the kale into preferred salad size pieces, oil and pepper it and mix, then add the rest of the ingredients, mix, and eat the whole thing! Great protein, greens and fats all at the same time, not low cal...and now I'm hungry... Tomatos go well in it too.

Does he workout? If so, that is far too few calories for a big guy like him!

He should eat more at breakfast and lunch. That is NOT ENOUGH FOOD for him. I am much smaller than him and I'd faint if I tried to subsist on such meager portions. Throw in a hard boiled egg at breakfast - or - 6 ounces of greek yogurt. Have him snack on almonds through the day. He needs more protein. Starving himself isn't the answer.

No human (man or woman) should eat that little at 6' 7". At 200lbs I worry about the fragility of that poor man who might accidentally get blown down the street during a severe wind gust.

Salads are fine, but make sure they are packed with foods he likes. Me personally....I enjoy many different types of salads, but dont really enjoy eating them without protein. Eggs, Bacon, Chicken, Steak, Salmon, & Nuts are pretty common salad items that fit in my macros. They look pretty tasty too.

The most important part of the salad making process is making sure its tossed. For best results, always be sure to toss your husbands salad completely. Because the best thing about eating a salad (besides it fitting in your goals) is enjoying all those wonderful bursting flavors that come from several variety of foods all mixed together at once. YUM!

Just wondering - has he had his bloodwork done lately? If he is eating that little (and that is a little!) and gaining weight at his height, maybe there is something wrong. Thyroid issues come to mind. It's possible be just has a slow metabolism, but it wouldn't hurt to make sure there isn't something bigger going on here.

He's 6'7"? I'm no expert, but I think maybe he should eat closer to maintenance, but start a lifting program. Adam Wainwright of the St. Louis Cardinals is 6'7" and 229. I doubt anyone thinks he needs to loss weight. Then, as others have pointed out, add the protein for many reasons.
