[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry if this sounds snarky but if you were to drop your DH into a deserted island and come back 3 months later…you’d find a much thinner man. I think as Americans we tend to be in denial about what a “normal” amount of food and snacking is. Baked chips, English muffins with jelly, etc.. is not healthy food. He needs to cut back on the snacking and also his overall calorie intake. [/quote]

OP here, and yes, you are likely correct. I think part of the issue is that years ago, he went to see a nutritionist, and that person mentioned that for some people, eating small meals every 2 hours was the best approach. I think he uses that rationale to justify eating all the time, and since it is small - a few pretzels/carrots and hummus, an english muffin with PB and jelly, etc - that it prevents him from overeating at dinner. Which it does, actually. However, the cumulative total of calories in is too much. [/quote]

If he really just ate the small meals, and NOT the main meals, he might lose weight.  But he's eating regular meals AND constant small meals, so it's not doing him any good.  It's just displacing his overeating from dinner to the rest of the day.  [/quote]
