RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted March 24, 2014 Last night we watched a movie and my hubby said " anything good to eat in this house?" I got up and got him a snack brown rice chips. 20 chips for 80 calories. only 1 gm of Protein and too much sodium. But it is better then lays chips by far. I have been getting him lentil chips and hummas chips etc. He told me last night that if he eats one more healthy snack he is going to rebel. Not totally healthy I said. There is a lot of salt in them. And no taste he added. I asked him to please eat better. Your getting older and health becomes an issue even for you skinny guys. He replied that he has eaten enough legumes and seeds to last him a life time..Laughing I told him that is because they are better for you then beef. He ate them but he was not happy. I told him he will get used to them...He said fine!!!!! I won't complain much! He is such a hoot!!!! LOL 2 Keepgoing247 and Koofka reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnaBanana 63 Posted March 24, 2014 the salt in Snacks is horrific. have you ever tried roasting chickpeas and seasoning them yourself? i used to make those for my kids. not sure if your husband would go for it though, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know they have a lot of salt. I am trying to win him over slowly by starting this way...I love chickpeas. LOL It's not about me it is about him. He loves salt and oil and bad stuff. I at least give him lentils...It's a start but he is not taking it well.. You know those guys who miss a meal and loses 10 lbs. That is my hubby!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teachamy 1,042 Posted March 24, 2014 I am SLOWLY proceeding in the husband arena too. My DH has some serious weight to lose, and as I lose more I hear him complaining more and more about his own weight. His eating is out of control, much as mine once was. Serving size is my major challenge with him. A box of triscuits, Snacks for the kiddos, everything is gone in 1 day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
