I know what you mean! My husband doesn't eat much during the day and then he eats almost all of the food that I cook at night!
Ohmiiigosh---my FI is a full time scrounger/hunter/gatherer/vacuum cleaner/garbage disposal/non-stop competitive-eater-wanna-be.
It is insane. I feel your pain.
And the worst thing is my husband eats all the time and doesn't gain an ounce! I think about seconds and my butt grows!
Try increasing the amount of protein & fat he is eating; both of those things help increase satiety. My FI eats a lot too and since we are on a budget we set some snacking limits....he loves sardines so we always have those in the pantry and eggs are always in the fridge.
i feel you.. when we go grocery shopping we have enough food for a couple days when we should have enought for at least 2 weeks. He can eat and eat all day long. LOL
Not buying processed food and buying meat when its on sale helps keep our grocery bill down.
@emily: Oh my goodness, when chicken breasts or ground turkey goes on sale at any store I stock pile so much of it!! I just split everything (one piece of chicken or half a package of ground turkey) into freezer bags and label it with a date. It saves me sooo much money :)
Yup, why do you think I keep asking the DH for a chest freezer? It would save so much money if I could stock up.
He doesn't think we need it. Maybe I should let him do all the grocery shopping and then he'll see how much food he eats and how expensive it is to feed him. lol
We want a chest freezer so bad but we won't be getting one until we have a house =( Did you know that you can save so much money by purchasing a cow? Well most people that don't have huge families would buy 1/2 or 1/4. You can get it cut in steaks or ground too!
So you buy part of a cow and they have it already cut up into pieces for you?
@emily: John and Kate (plus 8) used to do that (when they were "poor"). They would buy half a cow to feed them for a while.
If I ate beef that would be amazing!
@MissAsB, thats how it works! Pretty great huh? I'm going to switch to FI's computer to get the link for a list of farms that sell grass fed/organic beef. Is that something you guys are interested in?
I'm very interested! Might not be able to do it yet but we hopefully will move in a little over a year and then I can get a chest freezer and a grill!
Thats what we are waiting on too! I've heard of friends that buy a 1/4 cow (or whatever size) together and then split it between them (which might work if you know people). Hopefully we will make friends in Ann Arbor that would like to do that. Getting meat at a farmers market is usually cheaper than in the store too.
Most of the people we know are new couples so they are probably pretty limited in their space too. We are one of the few that is renting a house, everyone else has a small apartment. That would be so great to be able to eat beef more often, it costs too much to buy now!

for food! LOL j/k
DH and I just went to IHOP and he finished up 12 pancakes in one sitting!
And when I make food at home I have to make family sized dinners and that's just for the two of us. I usually like bringing leftovers for lunch during the week, well, I haven't been able to bring anything because DH eats it all.
I can't imagine what it's like once we start having kids. LOL
We started joking around and then the conversation got serious when we started considering entering him in eating contests.
My man can eat!
ETA: Yeah, I actually googled eating contest when I got home. I was looking for ones that actually pay you money. Not many out there. We were joking around that it would be one way he could be a stay at home dad... by doing eating contests.
