More of a guilt thing. Like I said, I want to be supportive. But my field is high intensity and we burn calories out the arse on duty and my daily workouts. She doesn't make me feel guilty. I just want her to be happy.

I'm a female, and I'm confused as to why "being supportive" would require you to eat ONLY what she eats. Isn't she making a personal choice? Aren't you free to make your own choices? She can't really expect you to have the same nutritional and caloric needs. If merely eating more than she does triggers some negativity in her, she has some deeper seated food issues that are entirely unrelated to "health".

If you decide to train for a triathalon, will she expect you to live on eggbeaters when you need 5K calories a day? This whole thing isn't really about food, it's about emotions. Being supportive doesn't mean you have to eat 1200 calories a day; it means you respect her choices and encourage her to do what's best for her, while she does the same for you.

Being happy rarely results from extreme control of food intake (whether your own or others). Entire books are written on this subject.
