From the sound of it, it doesn't seem like your eating habits are actually unhealthy or bad. Here are a few things to consider:

- As long as you're fueling your body properly after a tough workout, that's a good thing. Protein helps build muscle.

- Maybe she just doesn't understand that intense exercising works up an appetite. Explain your body's needs to recover and grow.

- Is she worried you'll get too bulky or something? Reassure her you're not trying to become a bodybuilder.

- Ask what specifically bothers her about your post-workout meals. Is it the quantity, types of foods, etc. Find a compromise.

- Could be she's insecure about your focus on fitness if she isn't as into it. Spend quality time with her too.

- Try cooking a meal together occasionally as couple time. Involve her so she feels part of the process.

- If her anger seems over the top or controlling, you may need to have a respectful talk about boundaries. Your health should be a team effort.

Talk it out and work as a team. Seems like lack of communication more than anything. Find a balance you're both comfortable with. Don't change yourself too much if you feel good!

What, specifically does she not like about your diet?

My food, specially my added sugars

I'd try to avoid eating as much when you're around her. A lot of people don't realize that when you're lifting weights, you need a huge amount of calories to have any appreciable gain in muscle mass.

Have you tried protein drinks?
