I guess I would ask him if he is eating for comfort. The fact that he is not feeling sexy as you put it, indicates an emotional cause to his eating and weight gain. Depending on his age, it sounds like he may be starting andropause, the male menopause which starts at about age 40 in males.
Any ideas what might be triggering his snacking habit? You mentioned he likes his job, but that does exclude the possibility that it may be also causing him stress.
What type of food would you say he is reaching out for? Have you considered substituting the contents in the fridge to encourage him to eat things like celery sticks, baby carrots or fruits instead? There seems to be a root cause to his behavior and would be a good idea to find out more about it.
Men's metabolism slows down as they get older too. Inactivity or spending too much sitting at the computer, munching the wrong kinds of food and feeling ackward about his body may result in other health issues down the road. I agree with you on that one!
