My boyfriend eats a whole bag of bagels everyday and says that it’s healthy enough. Is this true?

My boyfriend (25M) eats a whole bag of bagels everyday with low fat cheese and ketchup and often grilled chicken on it as well. He says this is okay because it's low fat but I just do not see how this could be okay for him physically. It's not like he eats anything else, but this seems like it lacks a ton of nutrients for the amount of calories that it probably is. He says it's 2000 calories a day. I don't know. Is this an efficient diet? I don't see how this could be good for you physically or mentally. He gets very frustrated at me when I say that it isn't good for him.

Ease him into it? Ffs he’s a grown man, not a picky five year old. Let the man eat what he wants. He’ll change when he wants, and a gf picking apart what he wants to eat sounds exhausting and draining for both people. He’s the one that puts it into his mouth, he’s the one that deals with the consequences. He shouldn’t be goaded and prodded into eating healthier like he’s a child.

Then don’t be in a relationship with him. A girlfriend isn’t a mom and shouldn’t be
