No boy should tell you what to do. Unless you have an eating disorder and he is concerned he is being overbearing and controlling. Controlling is a form of abuse. Don't accept this as him suggesting what you need and don't need. Abuse takes many forms and can escalate to many other forms. Get out now.
Drop the guy. Eat when you are hungry, don't if you are not. In the meantime talk to an adult, maybe your mom or a counselor about the situation.

Abusive. Whether it is verbal, physical, and/or emotional it's ABUSE! A boyfriend that is NOT abusive, will NOT tell you when and why to eat, drink, or sleep. He will NOT tell you how to dress, behave, put on makeup, or what friends you should be with. If you are dealing with someone that is trying to tell you when to eat. Get out of this situation it will destroy your self esteem and confidence. If you continue with someone that is abusive it will get harder and harder to get out of the situation. He will put you down in subtle ways little by little he will bring you down, until you start questioning everything you do, and end up miserable. The fact that you even ask this question is already a sign of something being wrong. Your own "inner voice" is warning you. Please if you are dealing with this get out NOW.

Is not clear what you are asking but if you are hungry you should eat; if you are not hungry and he tells you you should eat then is not abusive he is just concerned about you that is all.
Now if he is trying to tell you how to eat; what to eat; does not let you free to decide how and what to eat in healty way; like good food not junk food and you feel is controlling you then it can be exactly that; he wants to control you.
If he offend you calling you names or remarks about how you look for how you eat or what you eat then that could be abuse; otherwise.
If he cares it is good; you can sit and tell him it bothers you; that you wish he had a different approach on how he talks to you and that if is for better for you you will listen to his advice.
good luck

He sounds very controlling. I wouldn't say he's abusive....yet....but being that controlling is a definite red flag. Nobody has any right to tell you when/where/what to eat. Think carefully if you want to continue in this relationship, because it's probably gonna get worse.

1. Don't listen to him.
2. That is bossy and controling, but not really abuse.
3. Drop him and move on.

On the face of it, yes - he sounds like a control freak.
If he's saying "please don't eat that sandwich - I'm making dinner and it'll only be five minutes", then that is OK (ish), but otherwise he can back off - it's your body and your life!

Abusive. Tell him to piss off, it's obvious he's controling, imagine how he would treat your KIDS! No one should tell you how you feel.
