I pointed out to him that he ate a bucket of buttered popcorn and the equivalent of 4 servings of pasta while I was with him last night.
His response: "I hadn't eaten all day and I didn't drink beer!" And then we argued over portion-size.
Any advice on conveying information about proper nutrition and portion size to a man in deep denial?

I recently read that to lose weight, one should eat 11 x one's current weight (assuming 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week) in calories, to lose 1 pound a week.
