In general, we eat very healthy: lots of home-cooked, vegetable-and-rice meals, and very little eating out or fast food. That being said, he has a typical guy metabolism and can eat like a pig, and he buys ‘fat food’ like ice cream and chips to reward himself for staying up studying and stuff. For several years when I was living alone, I just didn’t buy that stuff, or anything with wheat for that matter. I would occasionally slip up and go buy a bit of candy (sugar is my comfort food a lot more than fatty foods) but I would have to make a conscious effort to go buy it. It wasn’t freely available. My boyfriend is not going to gain weight from eating junk food, so persuading him not to have it in the house at all could be tricky.
In terms of sugary food, I mainly eat cookie dough when I’m baking cookies, and then sometimes the cookies themselves if I don’t give them away. Or candy, when I cave into a craving. My main ‘junk food’ of the summer was whole wheat bagels with peanut butter, which I suppose aren’t unhealthy, but which I find it way too tempting to eat a lot of.
