I thought I would start somewhere and thought this board was a good start
to ask about food, health and nutrition.

I am seeing a man who never learned how to eat properly. He eats fast food
frequently and his idea of a home cooked meal comes in a box off the
supermarket shelf. He likes starches and carb-filled foods (breads, pasta,
rice).


I would like to know what can I advise him to eat with his pasta, rice and
bread so he gets enough healthy nutrition (fiber, protein, etc.) He isn't
into taking supplements, he has loads of time to cook, but I think I would
have a better chance giving him subtle food suggestions rather than
providing a lecture. I am not a big eater of carbs so I need advice.
