It's always "it was just one cookie", but then when I add up those 'one' cookies for the day or the week his eyes get huge when he realizes how much he actually had, but then doesn't change anything. So I point it out to him when he has/had better options and such, but it's up to him to make that choice.
I will admit that our food options here (deployed) make it difficult to stick with eating well. The chow options honestly suck and they rotate the same menu every week, so we are pretty burnt out on the same dried out fish, same dried out chicken, same over-salted greens...

He has to buy in to the change before it will really occur. Things will be slow until he does so. That is just the way it is unfortunately. Although the options may suck with that rotation, receiving proper nutrition from that is definitely doable. Although this may not be too much of a comparison, but when I was at my strongest in college all my roommate and myself would eat were chicken breasts. Two breasts per meal twice a day barely seasoned - we would just do our best with different sauces - this went on for what feels like two years... It definitely wasn't what I wanted to eat, but it was the most efficient manner towards our goal.
Agree with the above, thank you both for your service!
