Re: [Vegetarianslimming] Thank you for the warm welcome

I'd increase his starches - potatoes, pasta, etc. and add higher-fat
whole foods such as nuts or diced avocado at the table. Then you can
still only cook one meal, but yours will be more salads and
vegetables, less starches, and will not include the higher-fat
toppings.
