DH doesn't Iike cooking for me

[OverTheHammer]

We both work so share the cooking but lately DH has been against cooking for me because I've become vegetarian and because I need to know exactly what he's put in my meals so that I can count the calories.

Yesterday he made me veggie steak, chips and mushroom sauce but got cross when I asked exactly how many onions and how many mushrooms were used in my meal so that I could work out the calories. He says it's all too much and he'd rather not do it.

Is this justified?

Yabu. Sounds like he's Ok with cooking veggie but not the counting everything, which is a PITA. If you're that concerned about calories you should prep the food yourself.

Thought so. I'll take the hint then.

Counting onions and mushrooms? Do it yourself

If you need to know that sort of information regarding amounts of ingredients for calorie counting then I don't think it's reasonable to ask anyone else to prepare the food for you.

Do you need to count calories so closely for every meal?

My husband does this and it drives me mad. Obsessed to the point where he weighs out his cereal. Yabu.

Yabu.

If you want to know how many calories are in something make it yourself.

I'd cook vege or vegan or whatever no problem. But I couldn't be doing with adding up calories

I weight EVERYHING - including cereal and chips on a plate

YANBU. It's not a big deal to weigh food to support you to lose weight. My DH manages just fine. He's just being an asshole.

Honestly you are being a bit unreasonable. He's cooking for you and accommodating your change to being vegetarian, which is great. You don't need to finitely measure the amount of veg like onions and mushrooms, just look at what's there and guess!

Do you have a weight problem?

YABU - sounds like you have serious food issues if you need to weigh the amount of onions in your dinner. Have you considered going to your GP ?

What do you think and extra mushroom is going to do to your diet?

Wtf is vegetarian steak?

No I have a morbid fear of ever having a weight problem.

YABU. I wouldn't like cooking for you either if that was your attitude.

Seriously you need to cook your own stuff if this fear is to that extent. Until you've looked for help to overcome it.

If you were my other half I would be sneakily adding butter and cream to everything.

Veggie steak? its little bits of veg squished together and shaped to look like meat.

Although this now begs the question, why don't meat eaters ever carve their steak up to look like a cauliflower floret ?

Oh. So would it be fair to say you might have some eating disordered kinds of issues? If everything has to be weighed and you are very afraid of ever being overweight?

100g mushroom = 22 calories the same as 2.5ml or half a teaspoon of fat. Honestly you would have to eat a lot of them to cause a weight gain.

This would aggravate me no end. Fuss about your own cooking as much as you like, but being suspicious of his cooking is obviously going to piss him off.

Yabu. No one has ever had a weight problem from eating too many mushrooms and onions.

I wouldn't cook for you either!
