Sometimes having a husband is just like having another child! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342662 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 15:00:50 +0000 looch 1342662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is not a bottomless pit, he really is deliberate about what he is eating.</p> <p>For snacks, what about single serve yogurt cups? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342652 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:58:22 +0000 blackbird 1342652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird, LOL i have two big containers of protein powder and a dozen Quest bars in my cupboard. I make my protein shakes WITH eggs, kablowy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342634 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:55:15 +0000 Boheme 1342634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: Same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342435 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:14:53 +0000 petunia354 1342435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, and he doesn't gain a single pound. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342282 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 13:48:19 +0000 lemondrop 1342282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not since his diabetes diagnosis. He's a big snacker, so we just don't keep snacky stuff in the house, so our only options are the healthy ones (that he knows about... I may have a hidden stash in an undisclosed location)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342281 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 13:48:17 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1342281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: OMG, yes! We need to have virtual breakfast/brunch dates. I LOVE going out for breakfast and hes always like "ehhhh, I'm not hungry, how about lunch?"...dude, I don't want lunch, I want breakfast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342261 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 13:44:56 +0000 Mae 1342261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Taco: I know, what IS that? lol. He refused to ever eat breakfast before me. I did get him to usually eat SOMETHING now… but usually just a cliff bar or a piece of fruit on his drive in. Even when we are home he rarely eats breakfast. I'm forever offering to make him food-- eggs, pancakes, whatever he wants, but nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342245 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 13:42:27 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1342245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Our husbands must be long lost brothers...I just don't get it. "DH, what did you have for lunch?..."..."Ummm....hmmmm...nothing, must have been busy and forgot to eat"</p> <p>Seriously, how do you not eat for 12+ hours? Food is the first thing on my mind when I wake up :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342116 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 13:13:06 +0000 mrs. bird 1342116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: OMG. The protein powder. It's insanity. He still has a tub he just opened &amp; I was finalizing my amazon subscribe &amp; save order for the month, it had two of the 2lb jugs &amp; 12 protein bars &amp; he was telling me I needed to add more to the order! DUDE, eats some friggin eggs &amp; put down the shaker! His brain is being destroyed by all the heavy metals in the powder. Does your husband eat a meal during the night?? I've often felt like between the cat who needed to be fed every couple hours through the night &amp; his meds starting at 4am &amp; mr bird eating his middle of the night meal- I may be waking up for more feedings than those with a typical baby, which is crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342040 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 12:58:28 +0000 bpcmarj 1342040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Pretty much exactly this, plus all the protein shakes.</p> <p>So much food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1342000 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 12:51:14 +0000 mlm2934 1342000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No DH is very normal, I'm the one who can't step away from the snacks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341996 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 12:50:28 +0000 mrsjyw 1341996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! He def eats more than me, but doesn't gorge himself like my previous ex's did! :P I was pleasantly surprised that he didn't eat like a caveman! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341993 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 12:49:32 +0000 Mae 1341993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Then I'd just make "Mrs" and "Mr" snack bins and when he finishes his bin he's done until the next week shopping! Maybe that will help him learn to portion control lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341983 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 12:47:49 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1341983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I'm pretty sure he eats purely out if boredom. He's not overweight either...I try to show him how much we spend on groceries a week but it doesn't seem to phase him that we spend twice (or more!) the national average for two people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341501 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:42:28 +0000 Mae 1341501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is kind of a food camel. He doesn't eat much, if anything for breakfast. And he'll often skip lunch if he gets busy and doesn't have time for it (I try to pack him lunch now so he's more likely to eat, but even still sometimes he says he gets busy and didn't have time to go to the work fridge and get it). But then when he does eat, if it is something he likes, he eats a LOT. I made grilled cheese and tomato soup the other night and he requested 4 sandwiches. I laughed and made him 3, but then only ate half my sandwich and he finished mine. lol. He doesn't always, but he can eat huge quantities of food if he's in the mood. </p> <p>As for snacks… he certainly CAN house a whole bag of chips in a sitting, but he makes an effort not to. He will usually put things in a bowl so avoids eating too much. If he was like your husband I think I'd probably say something like: I'm buying X for me. Do you want me to buy you your own bag? Or something else? etc. </p> <p>And my DH is not overweight at all. I think he has a great metabolism + the whole food camel thing… over the course of a week he probably doesn't eat too many more calories than average, its just a lot of nothing-nothing-nothing-binge. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341499 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:42:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1341499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Yes, I finally got my husband to agree to stop buying chips. $4 a bag is crazy when he eats an entire bag in two sittings. And mostly just because he's bored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341497 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:41:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1341497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: I drink a ton of tea like that. I think I could do a liquid diet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341444 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:32:25 +0000 blackbird 1341444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would stop buying them, honestly. You're doing him a favor. If he wants them, he can go to the store himself! Plus, most snacks are a huge waste of money. A bag of chips are $4 and do nothing for you (except make you thirsty, ha!)</p> <p>DH used to be a big snacker but I have converted him. Sometimes he complains, but he's also content to let me take the reign on food purchases and the like. Can't have your cake and eat it, too, I suppose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341443 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:32:18 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1341443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: my hubby works out but not enough to justify his insane snacking. I have hide food from him because even if I ask him not to eat something he will do it anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341437 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:31:29 +0000 Beyond2 1341437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My husband can eat so much food. He's tall and lean and nobody ever understands how he can eat as much as he does. Thank god we farm or we'd never make our grocery budget!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341430 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:30:06 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1341430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: holy cow!!! I would be in the bathroom all day! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341423 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:29:16 +0000 illumina 1341423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, not really, though he does drink an obscene amount of tea--maybe a cup per hour of awake time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341407 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:26:08 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1341407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We can be walking out the door to go out to eat &amp; he will grab a snack regardless of how far away our destination is, I think he does it out of boredom. </p> <p>@mrbee: I can't imagine how upset he would be if I stopped buying snacks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341406 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:26:01 +0000 mrs. bird 1341406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mr. Bird consumes a ridiculous amount of food, for example at Boston market, he doesn't buy a meal with sides- he gets a whole chicken- for himself. He also burns a ridiculous number of calories 3-4hrs x 5-6 days/wk at the gym, even the amount of calories he burns resting is absurd because of the amount of muscle mass he has. So yes, he consumes a LOT of food, our food costs are a little crazy, but he's healthy &amp; it only bothers me when I get woken up during his 2am feeding frenzy or is his snack was intended to be my lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341403 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:25:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1341403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and its not even snacks. Its like huge portions of meals. He doesn't eat a lot of carbs but wants tons of protein and that is expensive! </p> <p>Its never just soup and salad for dinner, he would be starving afterwards. The other day I suggested sandwiches for dinner and he went out and bought a box of fried chicken to eat for himself. </p> <p>He doesn't eat a ton during the day and he really does try to eat healthy but almonds and cheese sticks and celery just doesn't fill him up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341394 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:24:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 1341394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he will eat 2 helpings of dinner &amp; then an hour later he will have chips &amp; beef jerky! He's a smaller guy too, I hvae no idea where he puts it all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341382 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:22:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1341382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I think so. We order IHOP once a week and without fail he gets an omelet, French toast, sausage, pancakes at least. I made baked mac &amp; cheese the other night- it filled a 9 inch square pan and this guy left me a corner.</p> <p>He puts away food and then works out like crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341379 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:22:24 +0000 lawbee11 1341379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All.day.long. We'll have a huge meal then he'll have a snack an hour later. I don't understand it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-eat-an-obscene-amount-of-food#post-1341373 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:20:33 +0000 mrbee 1341373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to snack, but now we buy no snacks at all! </p>
