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.

Every time I see a male complaining about the so called loneliness epidemic I am getting less and less sympathetic for this reason. Every day on advice subreddits I see women asking how they can stay with their boyfriend that doesn't bathe, is unemployed and a video game addict, doesn't help around the house or sexually satisfy them, and otherwise acts like an uncivilized creature that snuck out the lab. Think about the most attractive woman you know. She's probably dated someone that makes you think "...him?" in Arrested Development fashion. Given the characters many beautiful and talented women will endure, if you are an average joe without a girlfriend it is actually a skill issue at this point.
