two peoples, two diets, is this healthy?
Okay, so a friend of mine just recently started seeing the same nutritionist that I see. Just for the sake of this conversation I will call him buddy because, well he is my buddy.
So Buddy sees the same nutritionist as I do where she goes over correct serving sizes of different things. Like how much is in an actual cup. and how to estimate 6 ounces of meat just looking at your hand. Same with a tablespoon. It's very interesting. We also talk about different ways to cut calories.
A month ago, I found a guy buddy that lives in my dorm also sees the same nutritionist. One day I was getting biscuits and gravy which I had calculated into my calorie intake for the day. He said to me watch those carbs girl. Remember what the nutritionist said. Yes, the nutritionist did talk to me about trying to switch to whole grain.
I notice Buddy seems to eat a whole lot more than my calories allow for. So I of course confronted him. Like for example today, everything in the dorm is served cafeteria style. For breakfast he gets a stack of pancakes. It looks like he's eating from an IHOP commercial with 6 or seven pancakes. Then he gets clover honey and pours a whole lot of honey on his pancakes. When I ask him, he says oh honey is natural and better than syrup. (in my opinion you can't use all the honey in the world because of the sugar)
So tonight we have sausage links with potatoes mixed with veggies and mushrooms. I see him get two plates stacked high with potatoes and veggies. When I confront him (I confront him because he confronts me when I eat something i'm not supposed to)
He says Oh i didn't eat lunch today. Sometimes I only eat once or twice a day.
The reason this upsets me is because I'm on a diet and i'm smaller than he is yet I can't eat as much as he does. I also wanted to know if only eating one or two meals a day is healthy.
Should I confront him more? Should I say here try this sugar free syrup instead of honey?
Thanks for any advice. Sometimes I feel like I can't eat around him because he eats a whole ton and makes me feel like I'm depriving myself.
