    Why aren't you guys cooking meals you both like instead fo you eating carrots and snap peas, and him eating out? Can be very financially sound either.

    I shredded 85lbs killing myself in the gym and eating clean. All the while my wife was stacking the house with cakes and cookies and crap for snacks and treats for the kids. I do think she's trying to sabotage my life style as shes told me many times that I am now "Too muscley" and she does prefer the old "chubby" me.

    Not every spouse is willing to enjoy the new found life style the other has found. Some just flat out don't care about eating healthy and clean and refuse to do it.

    I didn't say anything about eating healthy and clean, I said make meals that you both like. There is usually a comprimise but people don't care about finding it.

    Try things like these as alternatives, I eat them all of the time and they are delicious.

    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sweet-sticky-and-spicy-chicken/ I use way less only with these, just coat the pan and then eat it with brown rice, and edemame.

    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/zesty-slow-cooker-chicken-barbecue/ I scale this recipe down, and cook it the same way as the sweet and spicy chicken one, and use that over rice as well.

    Why dont you eat something more appealing then?

    Beans and soup. Mmm yummy (being sarcastic).

    Not necessary though. You could easily eat the same appealing stuff in smaller doses, and if you do exercise, even more so.
