Is he overweight?

If yes, it’s not fine. If he’s healthy it’s fine.

It sounds like it's fine for him. It probably seems like 3 days' worth of food for the women of DCUM who enjoy water, black coffee or sugar free gum for breakfast before having their light salad at 2 pm.

But we're all different. I weigh 118 and DH weighs 230 and I somehow need more food than he does to maintain my weight. If he ate the breakfast described in the OP, he wouldn't be hungry again for 10 hours. I would be ready for lunch at lunchtime.

Is he overweight?

How is his cholesterol?

He's 6'2 and weighs 170 pounds. I don't know the details from his annual physicals.

Good to see the glucose SPIKE TikTok crowd represented here. 👏

Inaccurate

It's a perfectly healthy breakfast. Leave him alone.

Lawd have mercy ! Let the man eat in peace.

I regularly eat cake, pie, cookies every morning if it's available. My husband cooks french toast and bacon for a week. He knows it's my favorite.

That’s a very healthy breakfast. Glucose spiking breakfasts like cereal are what’s dangerous. You all need to read Glucose Revolution and educate yourselves.

Among other things, like everyone should.

The eggs + cholesterol thing is mostly a disproven myth. Eggs are incredibly healthy, the issue comes from people eating eggs with bacon or eggs with sausage etc.

Anyways, it sounds pretty healthy. Tons of protein, some carbs, some fat, and some fruit. Better than most american breakfasts!

Sometimes a half a banana or a nectarine. Is this fine? It's been his breakfast routine for years, 5 to 7 mornings a week. Only time he doesn't eat this is when we're traveling, go out to eat on a weekend, or he lacks the time.

Is this fine? Only if he makes enough for all of us.

I’d eat this if someone else made it for me every day (2 eggs though and throw in any greens or veggies on hand ).

This is my same meal but 2 over medium pasture raised eggs, sometimes 3 plus 2 pieces of Daves toast with butter and jelly. Add fruit on the side like any type of berry, plum, pear, or peach. Raspberries are a particular favorite and high in fiber.

I need to start making sourdough.

Its a pretty fantastic breakfast. I do rotate baked oatmeal and CFA minis occasionally.

You really need to stop being so controlling

It seriously never occurred to me that anyone would analyze my diet negatively. If my husband did this, i might even be mildly offended. Maybe back off and let your adult husband eat his breakfast. If his health is a concern talk to him about his health, not his breakfast.

This. Policing your spouse’s eating habits is not cool, OP.
