Hidden health!

Tell your boyfriend to eat what you eat or make his own food. You aren't his mother, and even if you were...my mom never changed what she cooked because my sister and I went vegetarian. He's a big boy, he'll get over it or he'll make his own food.

This. Seriously who openly won't eat something just because it's healthy?

Quite right! It isn't fair that he's expecting you to cook for him and then cater for his every whim. He should respect that you're trying to eat healthily and either do the same or feed himself. It can be hard to make changes like this but it sounds like time to put your foot down!

Make it and don't tell him!! I made healthy lasagna (whole wheat noodles, low fat sauce, ect.) and did not tell my husband and he never knew!! He ate it and told me it was really good lasagna. Once I told him it was better for him than regular lasagna he said that he would try more healthy things if it tasted like this. And I agree with the person ahead of me. Don't bother making him anything special, you are not a short order cook!!

I dated a guy similar to that. Here's what I did:

- Get the Barillia Plus pasta. It's in a yellow box in the regular pasta section. It's basically whole wheat pasta that looks, tastes, and cooks like white. He'll never know the difference.
- If he's not allergic to veggies, then sneak them in. If you're having spaghetti, throw the jar of sauce in a good processor and add extra veggies.
- If he's not an active participant in the grocery shopping & cooking, then you've got a ton of room. Going with the spaghetti, there's "meat" balls from Veggie Patch that look and taste close enough to real meat balls. But they're made from veggies.

http://www.thesneakychef.com/ isn't a bad place to look. They've got recipes geared towards mom's hiding good stuff from kids.

ETA: It's a lot easier to tel someone to bugger off and make their own food. But I assume you're in a relationship with this guy because you genuinely like him. So I won't advise you to tell him to "deal or gtfo." My current boyfriend and I aren't totally on the same food wavelength. I'm vegetarian, he's not. When I make dinner, I make it vegetarian but I will cook him a steak or something on the side. Making that steak takes all of 3 minutes on the George Forman and keeps everybody happy. If the bulk of the dinner is a shared, healthy meal, maybe you can consider having one separate element that he'll love.

Just slowing introduce healthy stuff into your dinners and don't make a big deal about it.

Plus Dreamfields pasta is healthier but tastes just like regular pasta

My bf and I were hesitant to try the whole wheat pasta, but once we gave it a whirl we found we actually liked it better than regular pasta. Same with brown rice vs. white rice. I think we were just worried about it because we didn't want our comfort foods to taste too "weird".

I hide it!

My BF hates cheaper brands of food so I tell him it was the exspensive brand when really its the value brand and he NEVER guesses,

So just dont tell him!

Lie about it and say you have decided he needs to have his own dinners as hes not the one on the diet but then serve him the same as you and yourl soon see hel have no idea its different,

I think its cos a male pride thing they want big meat not low fat whole wheat pasta

I cant taste the difference between them
