Does anyone have any recommendations for Healthy Eating?

My SO (no pics) is on this health kick. She doesn't need to lose weight in my opinion, but she wants to tone up more than what she is now. Works out meticulously. Her diet is essentially lean proteins, steamed vegetables and fresh fruit. That's it. Egg beaters and fruit for breakfast, chicken breast with vegetables for lunch and dinner, a piece of fruit or some cold vegetable for a snacks. She eats roughly every 3-4 hours.
So my question is this. I want to be as supportive as possible for her. I want her to be happy, but I don't want to gorge myself in front of her when we eat together. I burn energy off constantly at work, so I need to eat a lot.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Either for me to acclimate to her diet, or for me to offer her more options for what she wants?

Just eat a lot of what she's eating? And sneak cheat meals in when you're not with her?

sounds like eat what you want at work, and then eat what she eats at home

Well, it sounds like she it eating all the right things. Why can't you eat what she eats, and just eat more of it? Not sure what you're diet is like now, but if it isn't good, burning a lot of calories daily doesn't make an unhealthy diet any better for you. You will certainly get just as much energy through a healthy diet, and probably more.
That doesn't mean that you shouldn't enjoy yourselves and indulge every now and then, but just save that for your nights out (assuming that you don't have nights out every day of the week).

Is she pressuring you to conform to her diet?
If so, trade her in, thats just a womans way of establishing control "Guile" she is most likely making plans for marriage. Not a bad thing, but they do like control!
You must be as cunning as a serpent in your dealings with this species, or she will have that bull cinch in your nose for the rest of your time with her.

Not sure really what your issue is here. Do you feel guilty eating more than her in front of her, or eating unhealthy food in front of her? Does she purposefully make you feel that way?

Would it be terribly inconvenient to eat at different times from her? My wife and I rarely eat at the same time. I always have 3 options in the fridge and we eat what we are in the mood for.
Your wife really should eat some kind of complex carb. It's necessary for work outs. My wife loves whole wheat sammich thins.
She also takes a lot of Advocare Pills. I don't know what's in them but I'm pretty sure it's uppers.
