How can I convince DP to eat better?

I am trying very hard to budget and menu plan and it is working, but my DP is very relucant to change his normal eating habits.

He is hard to cook for anyway as he won't touch fish, pork, most vegetables.
I am trying to convince him that we can do simple things like make burgers from scratch but he just says it will cost too much. He won't even entertain making pizza from scratch. Its so hard to cook healthy nice stuff for him when he won't eat any healthy stuff and insists on eating processed stuff.

Tonight I had salmon, veg and chips so its not like I eat uber healthy! Just better than his fry up...

Does he cook the fry up or do you SG?

If it is you doing all the cooking, my advice would be to cook healthier food and hope hell join you when he gets hungry! Not wishing to cause further disharmony between you however!

Why not point out the benefits of eating healthily?

Good luck - I have recently converted my dh from eating far too much chocolate and ice cream so i know a little of what it can be like!
