[quote=Anonymous][quote]. He wakes up in the morning and has a smoothie packed with peanut butter, protein powder, veggies, fruit, etc., and then he drinks tea all day until dinnertime. He eats a normal amount at dinner (sometimes tries to have smallish portions but nothing extreme) and then sometimes will have a small dessert afterwards (usually not but sometimes).

There is nothing terribly extreme about this. He has a protein and fat packed breakfast and then he has a normal dinner. Sounds like he is just eating less, but nothing extreme about this and it sounds as if he is getting a decent nutritional range of things.  And if it is working for him, its fine.

On a related note I think an important issue is how this eating may or may not trigger your own history of disordered eating and make you anxious. I know that being around people who are dieting in certain ways makes me uncomfortable and can be triggering. when my DH suddenly got on the diet and health bandwagon (and lost 30 lbs, looks great, etc) I just had to ask him to not talk about it all the time or make assumptions about my diet, exercise routine, etc.  He did his thing, I do mine and most importantly we dont talk about calories, intake, dieting, etc--its not healthy for me or the kids (we do talk about nutrition but not dieting). I would suggest you take this approach as I think some of your anxiety about his diet is also about your own past. [/quote]
