I am on a Power 90 program, but I live with my Grandpa in the summer, who only eats pasta and carbs. Help me!?
I currently eat chricken, tuna, fruits, grains, salads, protein snacks like peanut butter and nuts. I only bought the Power 90 DVDs from Amazon, not the whole program with the diet book from Beachbody, so I'll make my own diet until I buy the whole P90x program when I am advanced enough. My grandfather does not have any of these foods in his home. He only eats pasta, lots of bread, and greasy sandwiches, which have caused him many health problems. He lives with a housekeeper, who cooks for him and she and my grandpa would get mad if I asked them to make those foods for me. I do not want to cause any problems with these people, so what should I do? Also, if I find a way to pick my own foods there, do you have any suggestions for my diet? Also, I come home from his house around 5 when I work out, which is after his early dinner of pasta. What should I do? Please answer the whole question.

Nutrimeal™
Nutrimeal™ is a great-tasting, low-glycemic meal replacement that contains quality protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and many micronutrients. Each serving of Nutrimeal™ contains 8 grams of dietary fiber, which can help maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system.*
THE BENEFITS OF SOY AND WHEY PROTEIN
Each serving of Nutrimeal™ provides 15 grams of soy, whey and other proteins. (French Vanilla Nutrimeal™ contains all 15 grams of protein as soy). Soy may help maintain cardiovascular health, diastolic blood pressure, and HDL-cholesterol levels, provided they are healthy to begin with. Soy protein is a complete protein, containing all of the essential amino acids in optimal ratios and in a highly digestible form. Nutrimeal™ contains numerous soy phytonutrients, which may help support a healthy immune system. It also has guaranteed levels of soy isoflavones, which have antioxidant effects that may help maintain bone health and moderate natural hormone cycles.* Whey protein, which is also easily digestible, is an excellent source of amino acids essential for building a healthy body.

Get a summer job and buy your own foods. No burden to him, and you get to follow your (albeit stupid) diet.
