Boyfriend eats everything (almost)

You're eating about 800 calories a day as per your diary, so two things;

- He's probably not as bad as you're making out, and is in fact eating like a healthy, active adult.
- You have no right to criticise anyone's dietary choices.

What rubbish. She's baking and he's eating most of it....tell him to bake his own stuff!!!

Over the course of 2 weeks. I'm sorry, I really don't see a problem with his behaviour. Sweet jesus, how DARE he eat more than 5 PIECES of melon?!

I am failing to see the problem here?


Um sounds like my husband, and any other guy on this planet. Also sounds like you may be overly sensative about food, you count everything he eats and you eat? Do you know how many times I come in front work and my husbnd eat the last cookie, oh well F**k it, it's not that big of a deal really. Think of it this way, he is saving you the calories, either go buy some more, or have a serious conversation with a dude about how much food he eats, but that seems like a punk move to me.

BTW, is he the first guy you have lived with?

Exactly. 36x30~ 1080 calories worth of dessert over 2 weeks.

my boyfriend eats like a pig and he's way more overweight than i am, so he really shouldn't be eating like he does.

i buy things that he doesn't like so he won't eat them. he hates vegetables and melons, so i buy a lot of those!

he loves cookies and cupcakes and pizza, so i won't buy those and rarely make them. i made some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies last night and he's already eaten nearly half the batch, which is over 20 cookies. i've had 5...

i have containers labeled with my name. anything in these containers is OFF LIMITS! likewise, when the containers are clean in the cabinet, he is NOT allowed to use them because he likes to microwave spaghetti in them and that ruins them.

i tried setting limits with him and it just doesn't work. the only part he remembers is not to use my containers.

we now do our grocery shopping separate so that i can get what i want and he gets what he wants and i don't end up spending a ton of money on pizza, soda, chips, and all that other unhealthy crap.

GOOD LUCK!

Your man sounds exactly like mine.

I started buying stuff that I LOVE and he absolutely can't stand, so I basically go shopping with two separate grocery lists.

But we also designated a "Kat Cabinet". As in, there is one cabinet in the house that is ABSOLUTELY off limits. My granola bars go there, otherwise they would be destroyed in a day.

EDIT: He eats like crap. Doesn't like fruit. Drinks a lot of soda. Will eat an entire BIG BOX of Goldfish crackers in two days.

Welcome to living with any guy.

ditto! My husband easily eats 3-4 times as much as me on a daily basis! He knows what food is mine, and I will tell him, DO NOT eat such and such, I'm taking it to work with me in the morning. So my suggestion, is to just talk to him, label foods as off limits if you need.

Hmm, if you're logging all you eat, you're probably eating 30% of what he eats, that's why it seems like he's eating a lot. On the contrary, you are eating too little.

That said, I don't have a problem if my boyfriend eats. I cook/bake for someone to eat them. You seriously can't expect muffins you bake to last two weeks? I give mine usually 3-4 days tops.

Don't live with me then, that's for damn sure. I dont share, if I let any girl share in my diet, I'd be living with a VERY large girl.

The others that t posted that you're not eating enough are right.

Do what I did: I told the BF that I was responsible for all grocery shopping, but he was reponsible for cutting me a check to reimburse me. When he saw the grocery receipts, it was a sobering moment for him.

Or....you can dump his *kitten*.

Welcome to living with any guy.

Honestly I don't see why you are so upset? The pizza leftovers are his as well as yours. You can't expect him to stare half a pizza in the face for days as you slowly nibble 25 calorie bits off it.

Also eat more

Guys need more calorie intake than women, it seems.

That's not at all what she's saying. She's not saying he eats too much. She'd like him to SHARE. If I made three dozen muffins and only got to eat 3 I'd be pissed too. He's being inconsiderate, selfish and RUDE. My husband is thin too. For the first few years we were together he was trying to gain weight. He still didn't eat an entire batch of cookies without saving any for me.

Maybe get a few separate containers. Put what you want to keep in those containers. Tell him that anything in those containers is yours and you need that food for the week. Everything else is fair game. If he eats stuff out of your containers, he has to make replacement food (not just buy crap).

It will get better. His metabolism will catch up with him in a few years.

Agree with this. It's not about HER habits, it's about his. I would be upset if I came home and found all of the sweets I made gone, or all the fruit I cut up gone.
