I cook my own, it has just kind of worked out that way over the years.
I like to cook and my wife likes to clean so thast what we do and we both are happy with it.
I am glad too because I can cook what I want how I want it.
She doen't try to eat as healthy as I do so sometimes I am cooking 2 seperate meals at the same time, usually similar meals but mine will have different ingredients.
I see some folks on here say "I just eat what my spouse has fixed for the evening meal" but I feel like if you are not eating right and want to, preparing your own food is a big first step, you aren't lazy with the workouts, so dont be with the rest if thats what it takes.
plus you will be amazed at what you learn.
Do you cook your own food?

I cook my own because i dont trust anyone else. They will spike it with butter or some other stupid thing that wil ruin my counts for the day.
In general, I dont trust anyone else for anything else either.
Just because you're paranoid doenst mean they arent out to get you."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

Even before I started eating health I cooked 75% or more of the meals for our family. Now I still do so but just cook better meals.
Now if she cooks something I don't care to eat, I just pull out an extra meal from my stash."Some people are like Slinkies. They're not really good for anything but they sure bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs."

I don't cook, never have never will. My wife prepares all of my bodybuilding meals. (8 meals a day) I say bodybuilding meals because she cooks separately for me and still makes dinner for her, my boys and daughter.
My wife has always supported me in my training one of the many reasons I love her so much!Last edited by bodyhard; 01-10-2009 at 05:14 PM.

I do all the cooking, which was a bad thing when I was fat. I was a big Meat and Potato kind of guy. Also was big on pasta and rice. Of course, since wife hated to cook she would eat what I did. So we both got larger.
Now I still do the cooking but it's much better. Tonight we had my kids over and a friend and her kid over for supper. I made Sheppard's pie, but I made a nice salad for me to fill half my plate with. Apparently I didn't make enough because everyone frikken ate my salad :<. No wait that is a good thing lol.djl_ottawa

Yeah OK, you're a jammy bastard for having a perfect wife. Don't rub it in for the rest of us who have to cook our own stuff.
Seriously, I just do the cooking. Early on, Elisa and I did a deal where one cooks and one cleans up. I soon realised she would massacre the kitchen. I learnt to cook real fast.

I used to have similar understandings with previous romantic interests. They were more than happy to let me do the cooking as I think Harriet Homemaker training was phased out of the school systems back in the late 70's and I was years ahead of them in the kitchen.
Though I'd only really murder the kitchen if they requested something I pretty much wasn't in the mood for dealing with. "Sure I'll make it, no problem. . ." Usually I clean as I cook unless I am trying to time a fleet of dishes to hit the table all at once then things go to hell in the last fifteen minutes or so.GeHfN VAlLiS

"No matter how dark things may seem, there is always a pinprick of light somewhere. You might stumble in the dark, even fall and skin your knees; this builds character. Just do what it takes to leave the darkness and stand once again in the light."

I'm not married so I cook my own food but when I am I'll probably cook for the whole family. My wife will most likely be health conscious but I don't know if she'd be as knit picky as me w/the kids food.
You're just like me dude. I hate when I'm at work and someone asks to try some of my food or asks for a little of it. It's not like I'm stingy w/my food or anything. I'm the exact opposite... but it's just that it screws up my numbers!Sept of Baelor was an inside job. Wildfire can't melt stone masonry.
