WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

DH has started to eat salad only for dinners during the week, because he was injured for a bit from working out and wants to get back into shape (even though I think he's in great shape, MUCH better than me! ) He has started to work out again during the week days, and doesn't like to eat a heavy dinner....and said he likes just salads...

Well I'm not a salad-is-enough-for-dinner girl, at least not every night, so should I just cook for myself? Or cook and ask him to eat some too....its really stupid but its annoying me a little bit that he only wants salad on week nights...

I KNOW this isn't the biggest deal in the world, I'm just procrastinating doing some stuff right now and this is part of my procrastination

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

i would NOT be able to eat only salad every night. I say make what you want and offer him some. If he doesn't want it, then no big deal.

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

I get home before DH during the week, and eat before he gets home. He gets home at 7 from the gym, and usually doesn't eat til 8. I can't wait that late. We usually cook big dinners/food during the weekend, and then either fend for ourselves with leftovers or make something quick like a salad or soup or something.

I'd just do your own thing, and let him eat boring salad!

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

good call...

I'll make what I want, and eat leftovers...I will leave him to his boring salads... He's such a weirdo! I love the "fend for ourselves" during the week!

Thank god we have our weekends to fancy it up, cook more and sometimes go out...I don't know what the male equivalent to a plain jane is but that is DH!

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

If I were you I would make dinner for myself & have a side salad or make things like chicken cutlets to add into the salad.

I wouldn't ask him to eat more because I think that's diet sabotage.

Really what *I* would do is opt for salads only, use the opportunity to get in shape & encourage DH. But my DH is woefully out of shape so anything he wanted to do to become healthier I'd encourage.

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

Maybe in the future I'll do that....

Right now w/eating for two, baby and I want food! DH did say this, and then sometimes eats a little of what I have....so who knows. I could also try cooking a bit healthier...when he cooks its good, but I prefer my own cooking to his

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

You should cook for yourself and enjoy it

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

My DH is like this. He goes on these diet kicks and I find them so annoying. Right now he is on the "I only eat veggies and chicken diet" Can I tell you how I am dying for a steak??

Sometimes I just go with what he is eating but other times I make what I want. So obvioulsy my vote is to eat what you want!

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

it make his salads- make myself a sidesalad with something else- or add chicken and stuff to the salad

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

DH and I often eat different things for dinner. I would go for it!

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

we do salads lots of times for dinner - but if you want more eat more - let him have what he wants

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

I think it's more important to eat together even if you eat different things. We eat different things sometimes b/c we like different foods. No biggie.

Re: WWYD--not really a big deal, but just curious

if i were you, i'd do your thing and let him do his. offer him some of yours but if he doesn't want it let it be.
