"what can I do to keep him from worrying about me so much?"
Tell him you are not a 3 years old anymore, and you, like any emotionally mature person, knows that it is your responsibility to keep yourself happy, and no one else's.
The other thing is, if he is that fearful, be careful that you are dating an "undercover control freak". To someone that insecure, the natural way to ease his fear is to control everything you do, what you eat, who you see, what you think ...etc. And that is only the beginning, other things that are bound to happen is prying into your cell phone, emails, using friends as a spy network to monitor every move of yours ...
Suggestion --- slow down, observe him some more, because the hell that comes with control freaks is probably the last place you want to be.
Remind him that you're a big girl and have been doing these things for years without any problems. He maybe just has a particularly strong protective instinct, which isn't all that uncommon. It's more his problem than your problem, so he kind of has to deal with it himself. There may not be much that you can really do about it.
Compromise with him and just ask him why he's so worried. Maybe make a deal to ease his mind like you will take walks on trails with a friend or go to the gym when there's people there so nothing will happen. Talking to him about it would really help because then you two can work out those issues and get to the bottom of why he's so worried.
