I'm very careful about what I eat. I also believe that since I am in the army there's an additional reason to be fit so as to be a useful soldier (we have obligatory 12 month military duty in Greece, but before and after the military I'm a physician).

We have lots of food. Apart from breakfast, lunch and dinner we also have a snack at 10AM but many people also buy things from outside (sometimes I know food can suck especially on Fridays)

Snacks are always the worst choice. Cookies or apple pie. Something with sugar and butter. I'm skipping. But I feel bad of trashing it and I'm asking a co-soldier if he wants it. He always does. He's gained weight. Plus they tend to eat junk food when the served meal is something related to peas. I hate it too but those days I'm under-eating and have a chocolate protein milk.

So basically my question is, should I just do nothing? I don't want to hurt his feelings or whatever. I was once a bit overweight and somebody told me "you've gained weight you should lose it". I felt sad and then he told me "I'm saying this because I care, not to hurt you" and it was true. But not everybody is like that.
