Partner telling me to eat healthily- fuming

Why?
You can live healthy and build muscles AND at the same time enjoy chips.
Much better than just sitting and pigging out on cakes bcs it is not contradictory.

Eat what you like and well done for having a healthy BMI and running. But MacD's and Greggs are not really going to be looking after your gut biome so there's more to be done if one of you wants to take the moral high ground over the other.

I always feel really irritated with myself if I exercise then eat rubbish. So maybe he’s trying to be helpful.

I always get mildly irritated with people who text me this sort of boring stuff though. If you’d of sent that message to me I’d of suggested dioralyte. This is possibly why I’m single.

Sorry, I see his point.... You need to eat healthily as you're making an effort so don't carnage it by going to McDonald's. And don't judge him, his choice, none of your business.

You need electrolytes and protein after a run. And remember running is awesome for overall wellbeing, cardiovascular health, mental health, burning calories etc. If you want tone, make sure you're on the weights and HIIT.

Impressive work though, it's so very hard getting back into it 👏🏆

Sorry you mean eat fries.
Then let him eat cake.

I agree with you it’s all relative! 3 miles is amazing!

I would be annoyed with that kind of comment- and would hope for more support and it could have been that he said would something else be better for protein after your run? Rather than that kind of comment!

I trained at the gym yesterday and was soo sweaty so went for an iced coffee after! If someone had judged me on it I would have been pissed off! It’s also relative to your wider choices so those fries may have stopped you snacking on other things 🙂

I wonder if he may be a bit jealous/ envious of you getting out there and being active? (Not that it’s an excuse!) x

I think maybe it just warrants a "Thanks for the advice, Mr Cream Cake For Lunch"

It sounds like he just gets on and eats it instead of announcing what he's going to eat beforehand inviting comment?

Are you a very young couple? x

Won't it be easier, simpler and cheaper to just carry half-a-spoon of salt wrapped in paper to replenish the salt loss, if it happens regularly? Why would one want to do all that palaver with and at a McDonalds? I am NOT a dietician and not particularly health aware but just guessing and waiting to reader others' advice and thoughts. Sorry.

I just wouldn’t have told him. My husband often doesn’t know what is going on with me during the day. We wouldn’t text. We would have a catch up in the evening to talk about our days and even then I may not have mentioned it, it’s not a significant event.

I think maybe it just warrants a "Thanks for the advice, Mr Cream Cake For Lunch" rather than a mumsnet thread 😉
It's a bit of a cheek but I couldn't get worked up about it as a standalone comment. It might have been just something to say, because a response seemed required and the general topic was health and fitness - specifically yours, not his. Maybe he's been getting more pointless updates about specific things you are eating than he thinks are reasonable and it's come out in a slightly negative comment?

Well done though, I can barely get off the sofa if it's over 22C, let alone go for a run 😆 don't let him put a damper on that!

OMFG THIS THREAD!!!!!

YANBU OP, obviously. Your DP is an annoying, mansplaining tit.

To all those on this thread saying, well you shouldn’t have gone for a run then eaten chips- bleeeeeeeeeeeep is all I can say.

OP if you want to eat chips, eat chips. Whether you’ve been for a run or not., isn’t anybody’s business except your own.

If my husband said this to me my reply would be. "Look in a mirror before commenting on my food choices."

Mansplaining? He isn't "mansplaining" anything.
You're the one that seems bitter about him eating a cake a lunch time - you've mentioned it several times and have even gone as far as calling him names - all because he challenged you on why go for a run then go McDs? Sorry but you're the problem here, and this seems to be about more than cake and "salt" IMO!

If someone phoned me and said I'd had to finish my run at a pretty low distance because i feel dizzy and then went on to talk about replacing salt lost from this fairly short run with mc Donald's chips I'd say something similar because it's tedious and also ridiculous! Why even mention it?

Why did you feel the need to a) text him.after the run and b) text him.after the run and tell him you were going to McDonald's?

Why didn't you just do it?

You are being unreasonable for repeatedly calling McDonald’s fries ‘chips’. YANBU for eating them.

As a runner, I would go within 1000m of a Macdonald’s after struggling on a run.

This is totally hypothetical as I haven't brought children up with my husband but if I had been at soft play with child on a hot day and partner has had a bit of me time to enjoy a run on their own then was moaning because they hadn't took enough liquid knowing it was warm etc I would probably say something a bit sarcastic.
But then I have never had chance for any me time and I expect your husband gets plenty.
And I know you are entitled to it but I can't be bothered with people who moan about stuff when it's their own doing.

I think it's more curious than judgemental. I do see the comment as an ok or a huh ok...but it's so interesting that you are really defensive/angry about it
It's about you not him. I think you're feeling insecure and you're maybe not getting the support generally you need from him and so this one message isn't about the message it's about feeling supported and so magnified?
Also how you're talking about him here and his weight is really harsh, and his creak cake. You're words are far more mean and judgemental (albeit venting to us not directed at him) ...this is how you are thinking about him, is it possible this negativity is more that you're making effort and he isn't and so his banal comment is like a red tag to a bull? You're judging you both and he's just not that bothered?
Some soul searching for answers to be honest. I think you're spoiling for a fight and I'm interested in why as one comment does not this big of an issue make. There's got to be more too it

I Would have tried to make a joke up about it, even though I fully understand why you'd be annoyed.

LTB.

Why tell him what you eat?

Maybe on the next hot day you should walk to McDonalds and drink a Frozen Coke no sugar and then walk home again.
Forget about the run.

Also have a chocolate soft serve cone.

Hint: Stock freezer with Polar Pies and eat one on a hot afternoon instead of taking a walk or run.

Sounds like he was being abit of a twat to me. You cant led an unhealthy lifestyle then attempt to give your 'expert' opinion to someone who is healthy!

and ignore the chip haters! Whilst I doubt you need to replace salt from a short run, even in hot weather there is nothing wrong with satisfying a craving for abit of junk is the rest of your life is very healthy.
Having restrictions and forbidden foods just creates issues with food if you arent careful.
(I plan on having a take away later this week...it wont ruin my diet or destroy the rest of the weeks healthy eating and exercise, and anybody who says it will hasnt got a clue!).
