My husband throws out the lunches I make him and eats fast food: Advice?

Anyone else’s husband like to throw out their lunch and then just get fast food? I go out to his truck to collect my dishes, and I always find his sandwiches and what not laying around and tons of fast-food wrappers. I’m sick of him wasting money because he has to eat fast food. I would love it if someone made me a lunch every day half the time I don’t even get one!

Maybe sit down with him and find out why he’s not eating the lunches you make. Maybe he doesn’t like what you prepare. This would also be a good time to discuss with him that you can’t afford for him to be eating fast food for lunch.

I’m petty enough I would follow him when he takes lunch and find out where he’s going to eat and then before he even takes a bite of said fast food sludge I would slap it out of his hand like a toddler and then throw his sandwich in his face…that or start a movement like Bam did for his dad when he did the whole Don’t feed Phil thing post his pictures up at all the fast food joints so they know not to serve him​:joy::joy::joy:

When our first born was a couple of months old my husband didn’t hang up the phone to me when he was at work and I had my hands full with the baby. He said to his co-worker regarding the lunch I made him that day “God love her, she tries”. I have not made him a single lunch since that day. Our eldest turned 3 last week. You can bet he appreciates any meal I do make him now though :ok_hand:.

I could make a crummy dinner and my husband will still eat it. No matter what I’ve made he’s complimented it and always takes some to work.
Only time he ever not eats is if the nepali guys bring in some noodles lol. He has a soft spot for their spicey cuisine.

But I’d stop making him food then. Tell him you hope he gets diarrhea.

He may have a weakness for it and can’t fight it. I know I did when I was pregnant :rofl:

I would just ask if he doesn’t like it, or what? Because he’s always buying something. You can get coolers that you plug into your vehicle and it will warm the food up. Amazon

Okay, stop making him lunches. At this point he’s wasting money on fast food and your wasting your time. Unless you guys are really struggling with him buying lunch, let it go. If you are then maybe ask him to take lunch a few days a week and setup a lunch budget so he can have fast food here and there. I made my husband lunch, the day I found it uneaten was the last time I made it.

Turn the lunches you would be making him into lunch for yourself. Then you know you have something to grab when you get hungry.

Then vent it out and let him know it hurts you that he doesn’t eat the lunches you make. It seems like a love language miscommunication.

I have a somewhat different opinion on this I suppose.

  1. when I’m working full time and I want fast food I’ll buy it for lunch if we’re not strapped for money.

  2. not saying you’re a bad cook or not but is it possible he doesn’t want to eat what you made and didn’t want to hurt your feelings? Are you making him the same things for lunch every day?

  3. if he wants to eat out for lunch then stop giving him food, that’s wasting a lot on your end that you could eat :woman_shrugging:t3:

Ask him. Maybe he just prefers something different and doesn’t want to hurt your feelings. If he likes burger/fries offer to make him healthier versions ie turkey burger, roasted sweet potatoes. But tell him if he’s going to continue you won’t waste your time and money packing him food.

Perhaps he doesn’t like what you make him? :thinking: I apparently don’t make mine enough? He eats the lunch I make him but still goes and buys more! I get all hurt about it. Lol.

Maybe pack your lunches instead of his. It won’t be wasteful and you’ll have a packed lunch

I would stop making him lunches and sit down and have an adult conversation with him about why he keeps eating out instead of eating what you made him. If it’s just because he likes the fast food then maybe try to budget it in there. If its because he doesn’t like what you made then ask him what he would prefer and make that instead or just let him indulge in the fast food and make sure he eats nutritious when its dinner time.

I have this issue with my husband a lot too. For me it’s the cost aspect. It adds up BIG TIME! Well I don’t pack his lunch but I buy what he wants for lunches so he has what he WANTS and he still does it :woman_facepalming:t3:

You go out to collect his dishes?? Is he a child? Maybe he gets tired of the same thing or wants something hot instead? Talk with him or quit sending him stuff

Quit making his lunches. Then average the amount of money he’s wasting weekly by eating out and find something you like that’s around the same price and treat yourself.

He wants fast food, he’s going to eat it. Maybe call his doctor and ask her/him to have a talk with your husband about the health problems eating fast food and soda causes. If it could affect his sex organs or show him how colas corrode your insides, or whatever would speak to him maybe he’d listen.

Can you compromise and have him eat fast food half the time vs every day? Or just get a fast food drink (preferably unsweetened iced tea) and eat your homemade sandwich? I’m guessing the cost difference is not that great between homemade ingredients and fast food, though might be worth adding up how much money he’s wasting.

Is it a time/ease factor that it’s easier to eat fast food while he’s driving/working? Maybe a non-drippy wrap he could hold in one hand and a non-spill cup would work better (or just wash & re-use the existing fast-food drink cups).

Is it peer pressure because “all the other guys do it” and he’d feel left out? You and his doctor need to come up with some snappy clap-backs for him to use on his friends, like “guess you guys’ women don’t love y’all as much as mine is all” or “At least eating healthy I’ll still be able to see my dick next year and my woman will still be proud to be seen with me,” or “guess I’m just a natural-born leader/trend setter vs you corporate sheep buying whatever it is they put in your bags”, or whatever it would take to shut up his peers.

Ive found its kind of a losing battle with guys and their awful diets. The best you can do is sneak in healthy stuff when he’s at home. Check next post.

Ways to sneak nutrition into your man (and yourself and your kids) at meals at home:

• Put yellow, butternut, or acorn squash in your Mac n cheese
• put mashed cauliflower in your mashed potatoes (ratio of 1:3)
• grate zucchini, carrots, parsnips, and add chopped spinach or other greens and throw in cooked bell pepper bits in your spaghetti sauce. You can hide a lot in a lasagna!.
• Toss any kinds of colorful veggies (skip carby ones like potatoes, rice & corn which he likely already gets lots of) in a blender & purée them with chicken/beef/vegetable broth/bouillon. Add cream & he won’t be aware of what healthy stuff he’s eating.
• set out cut up vegetables and dip (hummous, lite ranch or blue cheese dressing) and/or air-popped popcorn in front of him when he’s watching TV and munching mindlessly
• make chicken or hamburger pot pie with a store-bought pie crust, fill with cream of anything soup and a ton of frozen vegetables and spices, top with a thin layer of mashed potatoes (with mashed cauliflower in them if you want) and a bit of Parmesan cheese on top. Even my pickiest guys like their vegetables this way.
• mix a little grated veggies and chopped spinach in your hamburgers before cooking them. I also add a spoonfWorcestershire and soy sauces, dry mustard, minced onion and a little bit of ketchup or tomato paste to give them awesome flavor.
• throw a can of beans either whole or puréed into whatever your cooking for extra fiber & nutrients. Use the refried beans in your tacos
• switch to whole wheat bread & pasta (they make white whole wheat if he’ll complain too much), and brown rice, all of which are MUCH more nutritious.
• send along packs of nuts (raw is best, but see what he’ll tolerate) as a healthy snack. Bananas or grapes are also easy to eat on the go.
• baked apples make an awesome, cheap and healthy dessert: cut out the core using a peeler (dont poke through the bottom), fill with a pat of butter, a bit of brown sugar and raisins and nuke a few minutes until soft.
