Hello all,
I am really becoming infuriated with my father! It's quite obvious who has the knowledge on nutrition, exercise, and overall fitness. He continuously compares his 54 year old body and his experiences to my 30 year old body.
I cook, prepare, and portion out my meals in advance. I am trying to accomplish a goal here, but my father seems to disagree with me and we end up butting heads a lot!
This is driving me up the wall. When i portion out my food I weigh and measure everything and place them into polly bags rolled up and placed into a large storage container. What i had in the refrigerator (3 days worth) did appear to be a lot of food.
It is now day 3 and it's nearly gone. We are sharing the same home, and we are building a business in Kuwait together. So I have to rely on him for money to purchase more food. I notify him that I need more. He says "you have food," and I say "yeah that’s enough for 3 days," he then says "that is enough to last a whole week for me," my reply was "I am attempting to accomplish a goal," he then replies "I wont touch that." I am really sick of this BS, and it makes me just to want to quit all together.
He says from time to time, "when I want to lose weight I just stop eating, and I don't need any exercise," mind you he is obese, and losing weight to him is enough to make his pants fit looser again. I tell him you lose mostly water and muscle, and kill your metabolism. He says if that were true I would have no muscle at all. I tell him the stuff we already know, such as the effects of starvation on metabolism, building lean muscle to increase it, etc. He is a very frugal person, and I even showed him by costing out and analyzing my food requirements, his come back was "you see if you ate half that, do you know how much you'd be saving?"
This man eats a quart of Baskin Robbins a week, uses heavy whipping cream in his coffee, along with 2 table spoons of sugar every morning. He eats one time a day, and it’s usually some high fat, high carb fast food concoction, has more sour cream and butter in his baked potato than there is actually potato. His approach is, "I eat once a day so I can eat the food that I like and not have to worry about it, you should do like me and you won't have a weight problem."
What can I do short of quitting and going back to the states? I am at my wits end!
:
@ 6 meals per day
My per meal cost is 62 cents
My meals per day cost is $3.72
My meals per week are $26.04
My meals per month are $111.6
Maybe $150 if you add my water, skim milk, olive oil and spices in.

) and not eating right. 
(sorry, telling you that probably didn't help with your frustration) And yeah, now she's always telling me I need to stop losing weight, like I have some kind of eating disorder.
