I agree with Lisa - I can't eat in the morning first thing either, but I eat a couple of hours after I'm up. During the day I have any of the following: (mind you, I'm pretty stable right now too)
fig newtons (low fat ones)
crackers with peanut butter
dry cereal - rice chex, etc.
100 calorie cookie packs - graham wafers or chips ahoy
english muffins
pb & j or roasted turkey sandwich on french or sour dough
breadsticks (the crunchy kind)
cup of soup (watch the ingredients for milk / fat content)
dried fruit strips, figs, or dates
soy yoghurt with dry cereal

Your hubby should eat what he feels like eating and what agrees with him. If its a tuna sandwich at 9 in the morning, who cares!! As long as he's okay with it. I learned a long time ago now that in order to keep going through the day I have to eat and I refused to fall into the "norm" - cereal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, etc. I eat what I feel like, when I feel like it!

Best of luck to your hubby!
