Honestly, as soon as it started it would stop or I would walk and for me it is that simple.
I am an adult who can make her own choices without input from anyone and I will not be forced to eat, drink or do anything I do not want to do.

You eat what you want. He eats what he wants. Both of you dine at the table together. Don't make an issue of it.

People often try to control others with food.

If he fusses too much, suggest he see a shrink.

Wow, if you don't already have kids with this guy, don't! If he is already trying to run your diet and deciding for you what is approved to eat (and with such a draconian approach to boot) I can only imagine how he will approach parenting. Hint - you won't get any consideration there either.

You have to draw the line on this here and now, because if you don't you will wake up ten years from now and wonder how you allowed an outsider to steer you into a version of you that you don't even recognize.

Really good point. OP, were you hoping to have kids? That would be a very bad idea. This guy doesn't seem cut out for kids. Not sure he's even cut out for marriage.

Eating should be fun.
You are not his child. Eat whatever you feel is right. I would NOT let anybody ruin my meals (if they are healthy).
I cannot believe this is the only issue here.
Put your foot down!!

If I'm a dinner guest at someone's house, then I'll politely choke down food I dislike to be courteous to the hosts.

However, if I'm at home I'll eat whatever I choose to, and if someone else takes issue with that, then they can go pound sand.

Make your own dinners and meals.
Problem solved.

He will eventually give up when you take this control away for him.

You should be able to eat whatever you want to. He sounds very controlling to me OP. If he's this way with you an adult, I can't imagine how awful it would be for a child in that home. Please do not bring kids into this relationship.

He sounds like a real gem.

Tell him to go pound sand.

I had the impression they already do each cook their own meals. I don't see the OP cooking up gruel for her hubs. The point is, that he criticizes her food choices. Apparently this has been going on for 4 years now.
